Children's Classes - 4 - 11 years

Most children are naturally active and full of energy. However, as many of today's pastimes are inactive, such as watching TV and playing computer games, many children do not get the exercise they need. It is now recommended that children get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

A child's exercise should be of moderate intensity, which means that following exercise they should be slightly out of breath and slightly sweaty, but not so out of breath that they cannot talk. This amount of exercise a day is enough to strengthen bones and muscles and can help prevent children putting on weight.

How can Choi Kwang Do help?

Whether they saw it on the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, on the Power Rangers, or on Yu Gi Oh, children today have been exposed to martial arts from an early age.

Choi Kwang Do provides a powerful and fun workout, some parent’s worry that the “martial arts” are too violent for children, or will encourage violent behaviour. While it is true that martial arts originated as fighting systems in Asia, today's classes provide children with physical exercise, a chance to gain self confidence, an opportunity to interact with others, and worthwhile lessons in self defence. For children of all ages, martial arts are an exciting alternative to more traditional sports.

Our Children abide to the Choi Kwang Do Promise, and state before every class:

My Promise

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
