Our Philosophy on Teaching Children
Children are the future. Our goal as a martial arts institute is to
train children to defend themselves against actual physical
attack and to better prepare them to cope with the pressures
and problems of growing up. Our positive approach to
teaching will help some children to channel aggression while
encouraging others to be more assertive. As a result of this
training, the martial arts student develops confidence. This
means confidence in their ability to defend themselves,
confidence in setting realistic goals, and confidence in the
decisions they make in order to achieve the goals they have
set. Children reach higher levels of academic achievement,
develop good manners, and learn the value of respect.
In addition to the benefits described in the "Our Art" section, we
recognize there are additional topics that are specific to
children and are considered as part of the complete system.

Maintain Healthy Lifestyle for Children
Choi Kwang-Do helps reinforce a healthy lifestyle that parents desire for their children. As a
parent, it is often difficult to help your child achieve a healthy life balance with all of the
media (tv, movies, computers) and video games that children are bombarded with on a
daily basis. Through training, children get proper exercise and learn to set and achieve
goals. Instructors work together with parents to establish good training habits in children
both inside class and out. Also, the balanced movements found in Choi Kwang-Do work to
provide children with the physical development they need to counteract the effects of today
vast amount of electronic media by stimulating the central nervous system, muscular
system, and skeletal system. These positive effects if nurtured throughout their
childhood development, will carry on these young students as they move on in life.
Self-Defense for Children
As parents, you naturally want your son or daughter to be able to defend themselves
against physical abuse or other harm. Likewise, you do not want your child to become a
bully by using their skills in an aggressive manner towards others. In keeping with our
school's basic philosophy, all students are taught to resolve conflicts with other people in a
mature way, relying on diplomacy and good manners rather than physical violence.
Students are also taught and constantly reminded that skills imparted to them can be very
dangerous and are only to be used for self-defense, and only then as a last resort.
Examples of situations are frequently given within the class in order to help all the children
better understand how to effectively deal with different situations they may encounter at
school or in the neighborhood. Other areas such as abuse or harassment from adults or
what to do if lost, are further dealt with in a frank, yet basic manner to which a child can
relate and understand
Leadership
The student learns that leadership must go hand in hand with respect and the ability to
cooperate with others. This means respect not only for their senior and fellow students in
the Dojang, but also respect for their parents, their teachers, their country, and themselves.
The traits of confidence, respect, cooperation, and leadership are developed and reinforced
through self-discipline and encouragement from both parents and Instructors. Many of our
students further their leadership in the dojang by moving on to become STORM (Special
Team of Role Models) - a testimony to the leadership they experienced coming up through
the ranks in Choi Kwang-Do.
Improve School Grades
It is the sincere goal of Choi Kwang-Do to encourage children to excel, not only in Choi
Kwang-Do but also in their school work as well. The coordinated contra-lateral movements
found in Choi Kwang-Do helps to stimulate the brain, improving concentration, memory,
and mental sharpness. This effect, when coupled with positive encouragement by
Instructors, usually brings a definite improvement in this school grades and focus.
The Parent's Role for Success
We realize that being a parent these days is not easy. We are living in the age of instant
gratification - nearly everything is available in a moments notice - from video games,
movies, television programs, and Internet content. With all of these distractions, raising
balanced well rounded children is a challenge. Choi Kwang-Do Instructors help children to
learn the value of hard work and the self-control needed to make good choices. But this is
not possible without the help of parents. It is important that we work closely together to help
a child develop to his or her fullest potential. Parents are encouraged to talk with our team
of instructors at any time if there are problems outside of class that we may be able to offer
insight and assistance on.
