🐉 Little Dragons Take On the Obstacle Course in Hitchin!
At HSTS Taekwon-Do in Hitchin, our Little Dragons are always up for a challenge — and today’s obstacle course was no exception! With boundless energy, big smiles, and supportive junior leaders by their side, our youngest martial artists tackled a series of fun and exciting tasks designed to boost balance, coordination, and confidence.
Why Obstacle Courses Are a Big Win for Little Dragons
While Taekwon-Do might be known for its powerful kicks and dynamic patterns, the journey truly begins before the first kick. At this early stage, it’s all about creating a foundation of physical skills, mental focus, and emotional growth — and an obstacle course is the perfect playground for just that!
From hopping over hurdles to navigating agility ladders, each station is carefully planned to develop:
🧠 Focus & Listening Skills – Kids learn to pay attention and follow instructions.
⚖️ Balance & Coordination – Essential motor skills get a boost with each jump, duck, and crawl.
💪 Confidence & Self-Esteem – Every accomplishment, no matter how small, is a victory worth celebrating!
👏 Junior Leaders Making a Difference
We’re especially proud of our Junior Leaders — older students who assist and guide the Little Dragons throughout the session. They’re trained to help keep the group safe, motivated, and encouraged. Not only does this ensure a secure environment, but it also builds positive role models within our club. Watching our Junior Leaders in action is a testament to the HSTS values of respect, leadership, and teamwork.
🥋 Taekwon-Do Fun Starts Before the First Kick
Many parents ask us, “What’s the right age for martial arts?” At HSTS, we believe that Taekwon-Do can begin well before the technical kicks and patterns. Our Little Dragons programme is specifically designed for younger children (typically ages 4–7), introducing them to martial arts in a safe, playful, and structured environment.
And while they may not be breaking boards just yet, they’re certainly breaking barriers — like shyness, frustration, and lack of focus. Our sessions provide an outlet for energy, a place to make new friends, and a chance to develop discipline in a way that feels like play.
