Building Stronger, More Confident Young People in Our Community
At Turner Taekwon-Do CIC, we’re passionate about helping children grow into confident, respectful, and resilient individuals. Our classes for 6 to 13-year-olds go far beyond learning martial arts — they provide life skills that help young people thrive at home, at school, and in their community.
Why Taekwondo for Children & Young Teens?
🏃♂️ Active Bodies, Healthy Minds
Taekwondo is a fantastic way for children to stay active and healthy, improving their strength, coordination, flexibility, and fitness. It’s an engaging alternative to screens, encouraging movement and energy in a fun environment.
🎯 Discipline & Focus
Our structured classes teach children to follow instructions, respect their instructors and peers, and develop the focus and concentration they’ll carry into schoolwork and daily life.
🌟 Confidence That Lasts
As they learn new techniques and progress through the belt system, children gain a real sense of achievement. This builds self-confidence and shows them that with effort and perseverance, they can achieve great things.
🙏 Respect & Courtesy
Respect is at the heart of Taekwondo. Children learn to value kindness, good manners, and treating others with care, values they’ll carry beyond the training hall.
🛡️ Basic Self-Defense & Safety Awareness
While our focus is personal growth, children also learn simple self-defense techniques, helping them feel safer and more confident in themselves.
👥 Making Friends & Social Skills
Our inclusive, supportive environment helps children make friends, work in teams, and learn how to communicate kindly and effectively with others.
🎯 Setting Goals, Celebrating Success
Our belt system and regular progress checks give children clear goals to work toward. Every achievement, big or small, is celebrated, helping build a sense of pride and motivation.
🌈 Emotional Well-Being & Stress Relief
Physical activity, focused breathing, and movement can help children release stress and manage emotions in a healthy way.
✌️ Handling Conflict Peacefully
We teach children that Taekwondo is about avoiding conflict, not starting it. They learn how to stay calm, walk away, and handle challenges responsibly.
🍎 Healthy Habits for Life
Taekwondo encourages an active lifestyle, self-care, and making healthy choices, setting the foundation for lifelong well-being.
🚫 Bullying Prevention
Confident, respectful children are better equipped to stand up to bullying — calmly, safely, and with the support of their community.
🌍 Cultural Understanding
Children also learn about the Korean origins of Taekwondo, building cultural awareness and respect for diversity.
💪 Life Skills & Character
Through regular training, children develop essential qualities like resilience, determination, humility, and patience— skills that will benefit them for life.
🎉 Fun, Friendship, & Enjoyment
Above all, Taekwondo is fun! Our creative and engaging classes keep children smiling as they learn and grow.
