Class Description
For those interested in learning fast and elaborate kicking moves as well as self-discipline, Taekwondo is the course for you! One of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, this course teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Taekwondo is the right way of using Tae and Kwon (translated as "fists and feet"), or all the parts of the body that are represented by fists and feet. It is also a way to control or calm down fights and keep the peace. This concept comes from the meaning of Tae Kwon 'to put fists under control' [or 'to step on fists']. Thus Taekwondo means "the right way of using all parts of the body to stop fights and help to build a better and more peaceful world." In this class, students will focus on martial arts characterized by punching and kicking techniques, with emphasis on head-height kicks, spinning jump kicks, and fast kicks all the while working on their self-esteem and self-control. The benefits of this class are quite numerous, each of which can go a long way in improving both mental and physical health. Join us!

Instructor's reviews
My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.
Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
