Jeramy Black's TaeKwonDo Academy

LIL’ LEADER PROGRAM INFORMATION

Our Lil’ Leader program is designed specifically for children ages 4-6 years old. Your child will train with other children in their age group, allowing them to feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence in a fun and safe learning environment. Throughout each class, we focus on character development skills such as being a first time listener, taking turns, and respect for others as well as developing better balance, coordination, and overall fitness.

Participation in the Lil’ Leader program benefits the child’s elementary classroom experience by developing social skills, classroom manners, and leadership skills. Children will be more prepared to participate in classroom discussions and activities with confidence they build at our academy.

Classes are offered for the Lil’ Leaders program 4 days per week with each class lasting 30 minutes; we recommend that each student attends 1-2 classes per week.

MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING

Students begin by learning the basic stances, blocks, strikes, kick, and escape skills. At each belt level, students are introduced to new material which builds off of previously learned techniques. Your child will have the opportunity to test for a new rank five times per year. This breaks down to five 10-12 week training cycles. Each week in the training cycle has a specific training theme. The weekly themes include memory, coordination, teamwork, and many others. Students earn 5 curriculum stripes on each belt for learning specific techniques. The success of your child in our program is dependent on consistent training and focus on their goal to earn their TAEKWONDO BLACK BELT!

LEADERSHIP MAT CHATS

We use a few minutes in each class to do an interactive leadership mat chat. Each week there is a different topic for instructors to discuss with students. Students enjoy participating in these motivating conversations about:

  • Respect - treating others as you want to be treated
  • Leadership - leading by example by being a positive influence and model to those around you
  • Strength - self-control as well as physical strength
  • Commitment - never giving up on your tasks
  • Knowledge - learning is key to success
