One of the main functions of the Taekwondo class will be to promote social skills with other children and adults. Students will show respect for others with a bow, saying encouraging comments to others, working and talking with adult teachers and helpers, to learn to introduce themselves to others, and learning to be partners with others. Social skills will also be evident in playing group games, learning to line up and following instructions.

Every activity you will see during a class session has a definite purpose. While the students are having fun with games and relays, they are unknowingly developing motor skills appropriate for their age. This will include coordination skills, right and left side development, flexibility, muscle strength, timing, speed drills, mobility skills, etc. Even though some activities may not directly be Taekwondo, all will contribute to the Taekwondo techniques being developed. In addition, Taekwondo training is one of the best sports for overall development that will have benefits that will transfer to other sports.

While we try to make classes fun and exciting, there will be times when Taekwondo requirements are just plain work to learn. This is where self-discipline will gradually develop through practice, repetition and memorization. At this age, practice at home should be light and fun, never made to be drudgery or critical. also, self-discipline will involve the control of emotions and behavior in class and at the do jang.
