Tiny Kickers
...
The Tiny Kickers program is a specially designed training program that teaches more than just TaeKwon-Do. It teaches youngsters to become good citizens and prepares them for life, or at least school. This program includes lessons in safety and life skills as well as physical martial arts skills. These skills help the students become well-rounded individuals by promoting the child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth.
Our established "Tiny Kickers" system which is also unique to the Imperial TaeKwon-Do Association, is an elite section within the association for children aged 3 - 4yrs, which aims to lay a foundation of TaeKwon-Do for many years of training.
The Imperial TaeKwon-Do syllabus is very complex, with 24 patterns up to and including 7th Degree Black Belt. The Tiny Kickers section was introduced to help motivate and encourage the younger generation to continue training well into adulthood.
Tiny Kickers is meant to be fun, an hour of solid training for a 3 - 4 year old isn't. So here at the Imperial TKD association we have broken up that hour with a few games and enjoyable activities. Furthermore, the grading system has been modified from that of the standard adult/kids class format.
Coloured belts representing each grade are worn to signify the students level of technical attainment. Thus allowing the children to recognise the different grades and motivating them to achieve their full potential.
Once a child has reached 'White Belt Black Stripe' they are then able to train with TaeKwon-Do specific or Generation X classes.
Tiny Kickers is successful within the Imperial TaeKwon-Do Association and there are currently over 100 students training within the programme. Those who have ascertained Black Stripe seem to find the transgression into the older classes much easier and are continuing their training within the standard grading syllabus.
