Choi Kwang Do (CKD) can enhance your child’s powers of concentration, self-control, discipline and self-esteem. Children’s Choi Kwang Do is a healthy, fun workout that promotes a winning but disciplined attitude, which encourages better behaviour at home and at school whilst promoting the mental strength to undertake life’s challenges.
If you consider for a moment our Junior 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
You can see that, simply by following these principles, your child will develop positive mental, physical and emotional skills.
Your child’s Choi Kwang Do training is about far more than punching and kicking; it extends from the physical exercise, which is both disciplined and fun, to embrace almost every aspect of a child’s world.
What we don’t do………….
- We do not engage in sparring, which we believe only serves to encourage aggression and induce stress. Sparring is usually conducted under a set of rules and probably under the control of a Judge or referee. Neither of which would occur in an assault in the street, etc.
- We do not promise to turn your child into the next Olympic Martial Arts medal winner.
- There are no competitions as such. We believe that for every student that feels success in their victory over another, the other inevitably feels a loser.
- Our aim is to ensure each and every child leaves the Dojang with positive feelings toward themselves and others – feelings that can be carried forward into their daily lives.
- You train with partners not opponents, and partners are there to help you become the best that you can be.
What we do – the changes we have seen in children……..
Enhanced confidence: we have seen children grow hugely in confidence, using this to confront new and different challenges – in school, at home, in sports, in relationships – with an increased sense of purpose and belief.- Mental, emotional and physical strength: we know that, after just a few weeks, our children are far better able to defend themselves physically, but perhaps more importantly that they will be able to deflect or confront the mental onslaught of a bully, of peer pressure, or of an unkind friend.
- Increased self-esteem: an enhanced sense of self is extremely important to a child who is going through so many stages in life so quickly. The children in our classes develop the ability to recognise the aspects they need to improve (homework, relationships, effort) with determination rather than dread.
- An appreciation of their physical selves: children will only stick at exercise they enjoy – so we make sure they do! Our classes are so much fun, your child will beg you to let them come. They do actually enjoy doing squats, burpees and jumping jacks. They take pride in their enhanced fitness.
- Full and balanced development: we base our training on modern scientific principles – our fun drills are structured around movements from ‘Brain Gym’ research from the acclaimed book ‘Smart Moves.’
