Children's Classes (Ages 4 - 12 Years)

The Tipson CKD martial arts children's classes are the perfect place for children to learn self defence in a safe and friendly atmosphere. Our children's programme delivers their martial arts learning through fun and engaging sessions where each child is encouraged to reach their goals with praise and positive reinforcement.

Choi Kwang Do offers children more than just self defence; it builds their confidence, flexibility and fitness levels whilst improving their discipline, balance and respect for others. Our classes generate a positive energy and team spirit in a supportive, family atmosphere. They allow children the opportunities to encourage others, to be patient, to develop self-confidence and self-belief.

Through the martial arts grading system each child has the opportunity to make themselves goals and strive to achieve them with support and guidance from our friendly instructors. The Choi Kwang Do techniques are easy to learn and are not stressful on the body in any way. The techniques are based on large flowing movements unlike traditional martial arts which use 'lock out' methods that can lead to injury and ill-health in later life. Sessions are based on real life situations and from the very first lesson, students focus on how to avoid confrontation whilst learning 'blocking' and other techniques to help defend themselves.

Children's Promise

At Tipson CKD the children agree to live by the Choi Kwang Do promise they state before every class;

• To always do my best and never give up
• To obey my parents and teachers
• To tell the truth and honour my word
• To always be polite
• To never misuse what I learn in class
