West Coast Taekwondo classes offer children an excellent opportunity to learn effective self-defense and important basic life skills. They will learn positive traits such as courtesy, integrity, and perseverance which will aid in their development to be effective and successful adults in the future. Our classes are taught in a very safe, professional manner by instructors who not only know the art of Taekwondo, but also know how to motivate children of all ages. During the classes the motivation is positive and upbeat.

The children will soon realize by paying attention, trying hard, and focusing on the drills given by the instructors, they can be very successful in Taekwondo. This type of training can also have a tremendous impact on the child's ability to excel in other areas of interest. Schoolwork, abilities in sports, and skills interacting with other children are just some of the areas that can be positively impacted by participation in the structured program provided by West Coast Taekwondo. By teaching students how to set goals and achieve them, they will develop the "CAN DO" attitude, and with repetition, this will improve self-esteem. Most of all, the classes are fun!

Whether you're joining us for the first time or are already in Dragons, Tigers is the next phase in your child's journey! An extension of our fun-filled Dragons class, but for ages 6 to 8 years old. Children will continue developing their discipline, fitness, motor skills, balance, social skills, while having fun as they learn fundamental Martial Arts skills, but with activities focused to their age. As with Dragons the main emphasis of Tigers is to help your child develop their coordination, mental readiness, attention span, social skills, safety awareness, self awareness, self concept, and self discipline so that they'll meet the requirements to graduate into our Core Junior Taekwondo Program.
