Taekwon-Do for Children (Ages 8–12)
Build Confidence, Discipline, and Life Skills Through Martial Arts
Are you looking for a fun, structured, and meaningful activity for your child aged 8–12? At HSTS Taekwon-Do, we’ve taught hundreds of children over the years and seen the incredible benefits that martial arts bring — both on and off the mats.
Our dedicated children’s Taekwon-Do classes focus not only on physical fitness and self-defence, but also on character development, safety awareness, and key life skills tailored to young minds.
✅ Why Parents Choose HSTS Taekwon-Do
Our classes are designed to help children:
✅ Improve focus and self-discipline
✅ Learn practical self-defence and safety skills
✅ Boost confidence and resilience
✅ Develop respect, teamwork, and responsibility
✅ Stay active, healthy, and motivated
We teach every student to live by the 5 Tenets of Taekwon-Do:
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit — qualities that serve children in school, at home, and throughout life.
Structure, Etiquette & Responsibility
From the moment they enter the dojang, students are guided to act with respect and discipline. They’re reminded to:
Sign in upon arrival
Line up quietly and respectfully
Follow class structure and direction
Our instructors and assistants are trained to observe and support your child’s behaviour in a constructive and caring way — encouraging independence while gently reinforcing positive habits.
💬 Parents play a key role too! We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of respect and good conduct in class. Together, we can help them carry these values into all areas of their lives.
