Have a question about Taekwondo? Your answer is probably here!
What is Taekwondo and how is it different from other martial arts?
The martial arts were developed thousands of years ago as a form of self-defense. Kung Fu came from China while Karate originated in Japan. Native to Korea is Taekwondo. In terms of techniques, Taekwondo has more emphasis on kicks than other forms of martial arts, making it helpful in improving your child's balance, endurance, and flexibility.
At what age can children start?
Children as young as 4 can take part in our Little Tiger Taekwondo program which is geared towards children of that age. Currently, that class is on Mondays and Wednesdays of each week. Our staff will use their experience to teach them and get your toddler ready for more advanced Taekwondo courses. This gives all of our beginners the greatest advantage from our Taekwondo classes.
Does it increase aggressiveness?
Absolutely not. Your child will be taught from the beginning that they can never misuse their martial arts skills. Throughout their training, they will be reminded that being mentally and physically tough does not allow one to be a bully to others. Instead, Taekwondo students are expected to be humble, courteous, respectful, and careful about when and where they practice their skills. The instructors at Kim's Champion Taekwondo will continually educated your child that Taekwondo is a form of exercise and self improvement, not a tool for bullying.
Can I take classes with my child?
Yes. In fact, it is encouraged for the entire family to participate together as a group. It is an exciting way to combine a workout with a new learning experience together. At Kim's Champion Taekwondo, we offer a course designed for families to participate together on Mondays and Wednesdays. You will have a great time and create special family bonds.
How safe is it to learn?

A thorough stretching routine, matted flooring, and protective safety equipment are all apart of our commitment to ensuring your safety. These keys give our students the ability to develop their skills at their own pace.
