General Choi Hong Hi established that Taekwon-Do exists to create a more peaceful world through its founding principles. The core message of the Taekwon-Do Kids Development Program reflects the following vision:
“Empowering growth in young minds for a better world”
Children represent the future generation of our world. The Taekwon-Do Kids Development Program focuses on physical, mental, emotional and moral development, which will lead the students to become complete individuals who create a positive social impact.
Many instructors typically aim to get their students reaching black belt ranks and possibly world championship titles. These achievements, though admirable, remain limited when considered as final destinations. What comes after earning a black belt? The achievement of world champion status creates what next steps?
Concentrating on limited goals may result in a restricted path that overlooks the extensive and significant path of individual development. The Taekwon-Do Kids Development Program promotes a mindset that maintains students in continuous pursuit of holistic development as they work toward noble objectives throughout their lives. Students learn to develop their skills as martial artists and become compassionate, balanced individuals who create positive change in their environment through a comprehensive educational approach.
The seemingly endless pursuit of progress has specific measurable milestones that track student development along the correct path.
