There are many kinds of martial arts out there for children. Some are mainstream like karate and taekwondo, whereas others are more obscure. Each has its own merits.
If you’re wondering what is the best martial arts for your child, here are some reasons why taekwondo has that crown in the hearts of many parents (and children!).
Benefits of taekwondo
Taekwondo means “the way of the foot and the fist” in Korean, but for children at Team Carlo, it’s a lot more than just learning how to kick and punch. With our taekwondo programs, your child can:

Learn some awesome skills
Kids can benefit from taekwondo’s training. It’s not too intense or too boring! It’s the perfect balance of kids feeling cool and honing useful skills like balance, strength, and flexibility. These can help kids have a lifelong foundation of health and confidence in themselves.
Grow their confidence and diligence
Taekwondo has a belt ranking system from white to black. This is perfect for allowing kids to set and reach attainable milestones. Through taekwondo training, children can grow their sense of confidence and diligence. Martial arts help grow traits and skills that can benefit children long past their taekwondo classes.
