Junior Tigers (11-15 years)
As your Junior Tiger sets their goals for which colour belt they are next to achieve, it is preparing them for the challenges and demands of secondary school by persistence, participation, goal setting, task completion and achievement. Training is a physical stress relief which promotes a clear and focused mind. Taekwondo teaches self defense but will deal with conflict by learning how to resolve it and avoid being the victim of bullying.
Our Junior Tigers Program is…
- Physically and mentally challenging for participants
- Fun. Kids love to be challenged and to learn new things. Taekwondo promotes both.
- A great way to make new friends. Many of our students have made some of their best friends through martial arts training.
- Not the same old sports. Taekwondo offers an avenue outside of traditional sports where kids can excel and learn valuable life skills.
- Catered to your child’s needs and abilities. We have classes for both beginner and advanced students.
- Flexibility
- Self Defense
- Weight Control
- Physical Conditioning
- Stress Reduction
Exercise and Improved Well Being
Taekwondo strengthens the body and improves one’s health through physical exercise and conditioning. Isometric and dynamic tension exercises will allow your child to gain better muscle tone and more strength. A gradual building process of safe and easy stretching techniques will enhance flexibility, while breathing and concentration exercises lead to sharper reflexes and senses.Self-Defense
The discipline of Taekwondo leads to increased energy, better health and fitness, greater coordination, and higher self-esteem. These qualities are vital to a happier, longer life.DOS TAEKWONDO’s Junior Tigers program helps your child recognize and handle situations in which self-defense may be required. Using our completely integrated system, your child learns the techniques he/she will need to defend oneself in threatening situations. A child also learns valuable advice on how to avoid potentially dangerous situations and the ability to discern what level of force is necessary for a given encounter.Advanced Eagles (15-18 years)
Our Advanced Eagles class was developed so as our young adults could train with their peers before they move up into seniors. Our Eagles are mainly higher belts who have specific training programs in patterns and fighting, which helps when they compete in interclub, state, national and international WTF Taekwondo tournaments.
From the age of 15 growth and development is varied.
Emotional challenges are very real for Teens so there is no better time for them to learn to feel good about themselves. And there is no better way than through DOS TAEKWONDO’s Advanced Eagles Program, which supports other sports and activities – especially school work.No two children move at the same pace.
As we teach our 15 year olds, we need to be mindful that they are no longer children but not quite adults yet.This is why we need to separate them into their own age group, allowing them to learn from mistakes as they broaden their outlook, taking on new responsibilities and venturing into areas not yet explored. We need to challenge them and keep them interested and enthusiastic. Continual improvement through Taekwondo reflects on all areas of their lives.Involvement in Demonstration Teams, Competitions and Junior Black Belt Camps is the soul of our Advanced Eagles Program.Through Taekwondo we are encouraging our Teens to see the importance of :
- Goal Setting
- Participation
- Persistence
- Completion of tasks
- Resisting bad peer pressure
- Acknowledgement of achievement
- Enjoying success
