WHAT IS TAEKWONDO?
Tae Kwon Do is a highly effective form of self protection and a great way to keep fit, reduce stress and increase your energy. You will see definite gains in your flexibility, strength and endurance. All this, while learning valuable skills that will increase your confidence and capability in a threatening situation.
HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM TAEKWONDO?
Studying at the Manchester Martial Arts Academy, you can expect to see better fitness, flexibility, balance, coordination, and concentration. As your child progresses, he or she will also become noticeably more self confident.
From the beginning, we focus on developing the total person with our training. We aim to better develop and condition the mind, the body and the spirit. Tae Kwon Do is well known for enhancing a person's concentration and their ability to focus. Manchester Martial Arts Academy goes even further with the development of a person's individual qualities and creating greater belief in their true potential.
The invisible aspect of a true martial artist is their indomitable spirit. This is the courage, the confidence and the non-quitting spirit a student develops in the journey to Black Belt Excellence.

HOW ARE CLASSES STRUCTURED?
Most classes start with basic techniques and forms practice, followed by a variety of activities such as kicking or footwork drills, partner drills, and work with focus pads. Light-contact sparring drills are often included at the end of class and there are sparring classes on Tuesday nights for those who wish to pursue this area of their training.
HOW OFTEN CAN I TRAIN?
Once you have began your training you may attend as many classes each week as you like, and use the training facilities whenever it fits into your schedule. Ask us about the details. Ideally, children should attend all of the classes offered each and every week. However with busy schedules it is understood that there will be classes that they will be unable to attend.

KIDS CLASSES
Manchester Martial Arts Academy features Tae Kwon Do classes for children as young as age four. Children who are 4 to as old as 7 can attend our twice-weekly Mighty Warriors class, taught by a Manchester Martial Arts Academy Instructor. Instructors ensure that each student receives personal attention and that exercises are tailored to the individual child's needs and abilities. Children at least 6 and older can attend our regular Jung's Tae Kwon Do Classes in which they can attend all classes designed for their belt level as well as the "Juniors Class" which is designed for kids.
WHAT IS CHILDREN'S TAEKWONDO?
Literally, Taekwondo means Foot Fist Way. More prosaically, it means The Way of Foot and Fist Fighting. It is a traditional Korean martial art that emphasizes DISCIPLINE, RESPECT, and PERSONAL GROWTH, and it is famed for its fast and powerful kicks. Children learn the same basic curriculum as adults, and develop both their physical attributes (balance, co-ordination, flexibility, strength) and their life skills (the aforementioned discipline and respect, as well as courage, honesty, integrity, and the ability to work with other children and pass on their skills to those younger than themselves).
WHAT ARE MIGHTY WARRIOR CLASSES?
Mighty Warriors are our 4-7 year old Tae Kwon Do students. Through Tae Kwon Do we put emphasis on Focus, Self Defense, Teamwork, Self Control, Balance, Memory, Discipline, Respect, Fitness and Coordination. Mighty Warriors learn very basic Tae Kwon Do and life skills, in a fun and entertaining way.
HOW WILL MY CHILD BENEFIT FROM TAEKWONDO?
Above and beyond everything else, studying at the Manchester Martial Arts Academy will improve your child's DISCIPLINE and RESPECT. These are the two pillars of traditional martial arts, and they are very strongly emphasized at our school. At the same time, with regular attendance you can also expect to see better fitness, flexibility, balance, coordination, and concentration. As your child progresses, he or she will also become noticeably more self confident.
