5 Reasons your child should join Taekwon-Do Tigers & Dragons

Blessington Taekwon-Do Tigers & Dragons kicks off its new season in St Joseph's Hall at 09:30 on Saturday 1st October. Below, we've listed 5 reasons your child should be a part of this...

1. FITNESS
We all want our children to be happy and healthy. What better way to contribute to their good health than an exercise program designed specifically for children with all of the extra benefits that come with it?

2. FRIENDS
A new way to form happy and healthy friendships with like-minded children. Everyone will encourage each other to achieve and excel together in a safe, controlled environment.

3. CONFIDENCE
There is no doubt that partaking in a martial art activity instills a sense of self-confidence that is hard to find elsewhere.

4. RESPECT
The Tigers & Dragons program also drives home the importance of respect of one's friends, family and teachers and indeed one's self.

5. FUN
Children between 6 and 11 are generally not ready for the physical and mental rigors required in martial arts training. The Taekwon-Do Tigers & Dragons prepares them for the transition to the adult syllabus in an interactive, innovative and fun environment.

The Tigers & Dragons Code is:
I will practice the goals of Taekwon-Do
I will respect my teachers and parents
I will never misuse Taekwon-Do
I will always do what is right
I will make the world a better place

What more could you want..?

If you are interested in enrolling your child, please call Brian on 087-2435594

A reminder to all parents that we'd really like you to stay for the whole class for the next couple of weeks so we can go through the syllabus with you for your child's grading. This way, you'll be able to help them practice at home...
