Training for Children

Children

One of the most satisfying aspects of Master Oh's work is observing the transformation in the children he trains. Children, particularly those who may have lacked self-confidence prior to commencing training, flourish while learning Taekwondo. There are a number of reasons for this:

  • The process of gaining mastery nurtures Children's persistence and self discipline - and these are essential skills which carry over to other areas of their lives including their studies
  • Performing training routines in front of fellow students and an audiences builds confidence, poise and leadership skills
  • Taekwondo improves children's fitness, balance and coordination
  • Lastly children who may have been bullied in the past draw confidence from the fact that they are able to defend themselves

Grand Master Oh's training emphasizes the traditional Taekwondo values of modesty, discipline and control. These values are at odds with the aggressive or disrespectful behaviour which can sometimes result from poor martial arts training of children.

Classes are divided based on age group.

  • Classes for children aged 4 to 6 are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 5.00pm to 5.45pm. These classes are small and specially designed by Grand Master Oh to develop the basic skills and concentration level of this age group

  • Classes for children aged 6 and above are on each week night from 5.45pm to 6.45pm.
