🌟 Learning the Taekwon-Do Way

We teach children the values at the heart of Taekwon-Do — known as the Five Tenets:

  • Courtesy

  • Integrity

  • Perseverance

  • Self-Control

  • Indomitable Spirit

These values are reinforced throughout every class. Children are encouraged to line up quietly, listen respectfully, and support each other — creating a positive and disciplined environment.

Our instructors and assistants observe behaviour closely, stepping in with guidance when needed, and encouraging children to act with responsibility and kindness.

🙌 We encourage parents to support these lessons at home by reminding children of expected etiquette before and after class.
