Taekwondo Martial Arts Classes for 4-6 Year Olds

At Shin’s we have our Gym Kicks program for kids that are 3-5 years old.  We have just started a Tae Kwon Do class for kids ages 4-6.  This class brings the fun of Gym Kicks, with the award winning curriculum we offer to all of our martial art students.  This is a great introductory program for kids whose parents are hesitant at starting their child in martial arts instruction and self defense classes at such a young age.  Also, for parents whose kids were in our Gym Kicks class, this 4-6 year old class provides a solid bridge for transitioning to higher level classes. 

At Shin’s, we teach martial arts in our martial arts classes.  However, we still keep in mind what age kids we are working with.  For a four year old, we know we have to blend structure, learning, and fun.  We work on creating a positive energy while still making sure the kids learn and follow good manners.  We teach kids that having good manners is the same as showing respect.  This is drilled into their heads and kids do learn.  They learn to do martial arts physically and mentally, even at 4, 5, or 6 years old.  A typical class will begin with bowing in and then a warm up and stretch.  Kids learn how to do jumping jacks, scissors, bear crawls, and many other warm up exercises.  With learning all of their basics, we teach them flying side kicks as well for fun.  It’s amazing how many young kids can comprehend doing a flying side kick!  Throughout class, the kids will practice Korean terminology (Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art).  And with this, they learn it in a fun manner where they can test their memory and reaction skills against each other when the instructor will yell out the English word and the kids have to fire back with the Korean translation.  At Shin’s we strive to always provide new ways to teach kids so that they have fun while learning.  You will be amazed at how your kids progress.  Come by to watch a class or to schedule a trial lesson and your child can begin their journey to black belt.
