Children's classes are geared toward enhancing self-discipline and self-control.  The classes start with stretching and exercise in the form of games. The second part of the classes focuses on the kicking, punching and memorization needed for achieving the belt ranks. We don't focus on the sport aspect of TaeKwonDo which is only a fairly recent facet of the martial art. We teach TaeKwonDo with a focus on discipline and self-control rather than solely competition. Tournaments are always available to students but it is not the main focus of training.
