Taekwon-Do
for 8-12 year olds
At UTKD, we’re passionate about helping children develop important life skills through the practice of Taekwon-Do.
Our classes are specifically designed for kids aged 8-12, focusing on building confidence, discipline, and physical fitness in a fun and supportive environment.
Here’s why your child will love Taekwon-Do, and why you’ll love what it can do for them.
Benefits for children:
1. Have Fun While Learning
Taekwon-Do classes at UTKD are exciting, action-packed, and filled with games and activities. It’s a great way to burn off energy, have fun, and make new friends while mastering cool martial arts techniques!
2. Feel Strong and Powerful
Taekwon-Do is all about feeling empowered! With every kick, punch, and form, children will notice improvements in their strength and agility. It’s awesome to see how quickly they gain skills that make them feel like superheroes in training.
3. Learn to Set and Achieve Goals
Every belt in Taekwon-Do represents a new milestone, and achieving those belts takes dedication and perseverance. Children learn the value of setting goals, working hard to reach them, and celebrating their successes along the way. It’s a great way to teach them about commitment and resilience.
4. Stay Active and Healthy
Taekwon-Do classes are a great way to stay active and develop healthy habits. The variety of movements and exercises helps kids build stronger muscles, improve coordination, and develop better balance. Plus, it’s a fun way to stay fit without feeling like a traditional workout.
5. Gain Respect and Responsibility
Taekwon-Do teaches children respect, not only for their instructors and fellow students, but also for themselves. By following the rules of the school, keeping a positive attitude, and helping others, they learn what it means to be responsible and respectful both on and off the mat.
Benefits for Parents
1. Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem
Taekwon-Do is an incredible confidence-builder. As children learn new skills, set and achieve goals, and progress through the ranks, they gain a sense of accomplishment and pride that carries over into all areas of life. It’s a great way for them to feel more confident in themselves and their abilities.
2. Instills Discipline and Focus
Our structured classes teach children the importance of self-discipline, respect, and responsibility. Taekwon-Do encourages kids to focus on their goals and work hard to achieve them, improving their concentration both in the dojang and at school.
3. Physical Fitness and Health
Our classes provide a well-rounded workout, helping kids develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Taekwon-Do is a fun way to keep children active and healthy, promoting long-term physical fitness habits in a way that feels like play rather than exercise.
4. Develops Self-Defense Skills
In today’s world, it’s essential that children feel empowered and safe. Taekwon-Do teaches practical self-defense techniques that not only prepare children for potential situations but also build awareness and confidence in their ability to stay safe.
5. Builds Social Skills and Community
In Taekwon-Do, children interact with peers of all ages and backgrounds, creating a sense of community and belonging. They learn teamwork, respect for others, and how to communicate in positive ways, all of which are key to building strong social skills and friendships.
Our Commitment:
At UTKD, we’re committed to helping your child become the best version of themselves, both physically and mentally. Our children’s Taekwon-Do classes offer the perfect mix of fun, fitness, and personal development in a supportive, safe environment.
Friendly school. Gives us young girls more confidence. I’m 12 and have been coming 5 years.

Black Belt Student
My 3 children joined the junior class, and in this short time they have learnt skills and techniques that they will carry with them through life. As they progress through this journey I know it will continue to have a positive effect on their physical and mental wellbeing, as well as give them the confidence in a situation where they will need to defend / protect themselves.
They have learnt discipline, respect and understanding and as soon as they joined they were made to feel welcome into this very special family.
Today they all passed their white/ yellow belts and I could have burst with pride! the Instructors are amazing people, with kind hearts and such enthusiasm to teach and I can’t thank them enough.
