Taekwondo is often regarded as one of the most scientific and disciplined traditional Korean martial arts. It’s designed to build a sense of confidence in those who practice it. The literal definition of taekwondo is something akin to “the art of kicking and punching”, but there’s a lot more to it than that.
Not only does Taekwondo benefit the mind, but it also helps improve kids’ social skills and widens their social circles. Here are a few benefits of a kid engaging in team and community sports, namely taekwondo.
1. Team sports help kids thrive in social situations
Many kids might not be naturally social or comfortable with social settings. A pro-social, safe environment like Team Carlo’s family-friendly training centre is a great place for children to train their social skills.
Every child is safe to participate at their own comfort level, but also gently encouraged to join in on the fun social interactions. Taekwondo is special in that it is an individual sport in a team environment. After some time, kids who practice taekwondo can succeed more easily in social situations, and even thrive.
2. Bond with friends
Taekwondo is a social team sport that can help kids learn to be more cooperative. Each class is small enough for your child to get individualised attention and care, but big enough so that they can make plenty of new friends.
Under the guidance of our licensed and experienced trainers, our taekwondo programs facilitate clear communication and teach kids how to work well together as a team. They can also develop a sense of belonging as they spend more time together in this fun and friendly environment.
3. Taekwondo allows for mutual encouragement
Some sports and martial arts pit children against each other for competition’s sake. Community sports don’t have to be vicious to provide meaningful progress!
Team Carlo’s kids taekwondo programs eliminate the pressure that a lot of other sports put on children to keep up with their team’s abilities. We allow each child to learn and progress at their own pace, in a controlled and safe environment. The belt system is designed so that kids canlearn how to set healthy milestones, make progress through diligent work, and raise their self esteem. The only competition your child has is with themselves. The added bonus is they get to make great friendships along the way.
