Kids classes are available for children ages 5 and up. At Vortex Taekwondo we follow the LTAD format for all our stages of learning. The LTAD is Long Term Athlete Development which is set out by the NCCP or National Coach Certification Program. During the early stages of your child’s experience in Taekwondo we will be focusing one fundamental development which will include balance, coordination, gross motor skills, focus, effort, and basic movement through Martial Arts.
Our Classes consist of two one hour classes per week. Once a week your child will learn fundamentals, basic movement such as kicking and blocking, Patterns and self-defense. The other day a week your child will learn about the Olympic sport of Taekwondo through stepping drills, foot work, and basic sparring.
These classes are great for children of all sizes. We strongly reinforce courtesy and respect through our disciplined yet fun classes.
