HAPKIDO
Is your child shy ?
Does your child avoid confrontations ?
Does your child need non aggressive self defence ?
Hapkido is a Korean martial art that is the best option for self-defense using joint locks, throws, and pressure points.
It's the best option for kids who want to learn practical self-defense skills, as well as improve their balance, coordination, and overall fitness.
One of the biggest things about hapkido is that it teaches kids how to defend themselves against attackers of all sizes and strength levels. Using joint locks and throws, hapkido kids learn how to take down even the strongest opponent, without relying solely on physical strength.
Another benefit of hapkido is that it emphasizes respect, discipline, and self-control. Students are taught to use their skills only in self-defense situations, and to always avoid fighting whenever possible.
This can help kids develop a strong sense of empathy and compassion, while also building their confidence and self-esteem.
taekwondo
Is your child athletic ?
Does your child love competing and competitions?
Do you love seeing your child win medals?
Taekwondo is another Korean martial art that focuses on kicks, punches, blocks, combination attacks and speed. It's a great option for kids who want to improve their flexibility, balance, and speed, as well as learn Olympic Sparring.
One of the biggest benefits of taekwondo is that it emphasizes fitness and stamina. Students learn how to use combination attacks using kicks, punches, blocks and strikes. With the main focus on kicking, and developing combination kicks and jumping kicks, children get fit really fast and develop the ability to keep up stamina for longer periods of time. Taekwondo develops the highest levels of fitness, especially for leg work.
Another benefit of taekwondo is that it teaches kids how to defend themselves against multiple attackers. Through a combination of kicks, punches, and blocks, taekwondo practitioners learn how to keep attackers at bay, and to take them down quickly and efficiently.
Taekwondo is an Olympic sport, which means the focus is more on fitness and the ability to spar with exceptional martial arts techniques under high pressure situations.
Kick boxing
Does your child have alot of energy to burn ?
Do you want to train a little fighter ?
Are you more interested in technique than belts ?
Kickboxing is a martial art that combines elements of boxing and martial arts. It focuses on punches, kicks, and knee strikes, and is a great option for kids who want to improve their cardio fitness and overall strength.
The best thing about kickboxing is that it's a high-intensity workout that can help kids burn calories, improve their cardiovascular health, and build muscle.
This can be especially beneficial for kids who struggle with weight issues or who are looking for a fun and challenging way to get in shape.
Another benefit of kickboxing is that it teaches kids how to defend themselves in close-range combat situations.
Through a combination of strikes, kicks, and knee strikes, kickboxing practitioners learn how to take down opponents quickly and effectively.
