CURRICULUM

What Children Learn in Our Kids Taekwondo Program

Each Kids class at ATTA is structured to develop children holistically — physically, mentally and socially.

PHYSICAL SKILLS

  • Fundamental Taekwondo kicks — front kick, roundhouse, side kick, back kick, and combinations
  • Basic blocks and defensive postures
  • Poomsae (patterns) — structured movement sequences that build muscle memory, balance and spatial awareness
  • Coordination and body control — skills that benefit children’s development well beyond the dojang
  • Flexibility and core strength — developed progressively through Taekwondo-specific exercises

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

  • Courtesy — learning to bow, greet instructors and training partners, and treat others respectfully
  • Self-control — managing excitement, frustration, and energy in a structured environment
  • Perseverance — trying again when something is hard, celebrating effort alongside achievement
  • Listening and following instruction — building school-ready focus and attentiveness
  • Self-confidence — the real confidence that comes from earning each belt through genuine skill and effort

WHY TAEKWONDO

Why Taekwondo Is One of the Best Activities for Children

Unlike many children’s sports, Taekwondo provides a structured progression system — the belt system — that gives children clear, meaningful goals and a visible record of their own growth.

  • Improves concentration and listening skills — directly supporting school performance
  • Develops physical literacy — balance, coordination and movement quality
  • Builds resilience — children learn to handle setbacks as part of the learning process
  • Promotes regular physical activity in an engaging format
  • Teaches respect for authority and peers in a positive, structured context
  • Gives shy or anxious children a safe, confidence-building environment

Every transition is a milestone.

Every transition is a milestone. Each belt is celebrated with the student and their family. Our structured grading process ensures children feel proud and prepared at every step — because they have genuinely earned what they’ve been awarded.

COMMON QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — KIDS TAEKWONDO

What age can my child start at ATTA?

We welcome children from age 5 in our Kids Program. At this age, classes are movement-focused, fun, and developmentally appropriate — introducing Taekwondo concepts through games, challenges and repetition rather than formal technique.

Absolutely. Every student begins at white belt, and our instructors are experienced in welcoming complete beginners. Many of our kids join with no martial arts background at all and progress quickly with encouragement and consistent attendance.

Yes. Our Kids classes are designed with age-appropriate safety in mind. Physical contact is minimal and carefully supervised for the younger age groups, increasing gradually as children develop skill and maturity. Full sparring equipment is introduced only when students are technically ready and emotionally prepared.

If your child can follow basic instructions and is interested in physical activity, they are likely ready. We recommend coming in to observe a class first — seeing what the sessions involve is the best way to judge fit. We also offer a free trial class so your child can experience it before you commit.

Many parents report improvements in focus, listening skills, and behaviour at school after their children start Taekwondo. The structured nature of classes — where listening, responding appropriately, and self-regulating are required — builds exactly the habits that support academic and social success.

We never want any child to feel forced to continue. That said, we do encourage parents to support their children through early moments of resistance — it is very common for children to experience initial resistance that quickly turns into enthusiasm once they start feeling capable and confident. Our instructors are attuned to this and adjust their approach accordingly.
