It’s back to school season, and if you’re like many parents, you’re both excited and a bit worried about your child. Every new year of school typically means new challenges, new teachers, new experiences, and more.

As the curriculum gets harder and kids get older, we tend to grow concerned about not only our children’s academic readiness, but their social readiness as well.

At Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do, we know from experience that Tae Kwon Do has the ability to make this year the best year possible for your child – and for you as well. That is because Tae Kwon Do (TKD) has proven benefits that specifically help students with their success – and their happiness.

What Does TKD Provide?

Tae Kwon Do offer several benefits that make it the perfect choice for your student this year. These include:

• Skill Building for Academic Excellence – Academic excellence begins with the ability to attain and maintain good focus and attention. TKD teaches and requires full focus, control over not only the body, but the mind as well. We do exercises in class designed around these benefits, with the goal of teaching your child focus skills that they can take with them in school and beyond.
• Positive Social Experiences – We know that academic success is only one part of the picture. Also important is social success. TKD promotes social inclusion, cooperative effort, team building, and positive, praise filled social interactions. These help students make new friends, feel good around others, and give them an ongoing confidence building activity.
• Marathon, Not Sprint – Every year of school requires patience and commitment. TKD does as well. TKD is goal oriented, teaching incremental improvements and learning to set and achieve both short term goals and long term goals. Students progressively learn new techniques, move up in belts, and continue to grow towards the ultimate goal of becoming a black belt. This teaches the value of goal setting, but also the value of growth, as students need to learn and commit to each and every step to get to the final end goal.
• Safety and Confidence – Success in school is linked to confidence, not just socially, but also with regard to their own safety and emotional strength. When young students feel confident in themselves, they stand up for themselves and others, promote better goodwill, and create a more caring environment. TKD is built around physical and mental confidence, showing young kids how to know themselves and feel powerful until they’re ready to help themselves and others in school.
• TKD is Fun – Finally, Tae Kwon Do is incredibly fun. It’s “cool” and will help students feel engaged in an exciting physical activity. They’re going to love it, and so being enrolled in TKD means that you’re giving your child an even better year just because of the joys of the experience.

If you’ve been worried about your child, or you’re hoping to make your student’s year the best year it can be, sign up today! We have several offers to help you test TKD for yourself, and we are confident that once your student has tried it, they’ll love it.
