East Side Tae Kwon Do is excited to announce three special half day camps for Summer, 2011:
Weapons Camp June 13-June 17
In addition to working on our traditional Tae Kwon Do skills, we will also learn how to use weapons. The Long Sword, the Bo Staff , Arnis (fighting sticks) and the Sai will be taught. We will learn a new weapon each day, and then Friday we will have a review. This is a fun, safe way to learn about this exciting branch of martial arts. Ages 7-14. Open to orange and white belts and higher.
Yoga/Meditation Camp June 20-June 24
Over the years, we’ve noticed that kids in Manhattan are subjected to a massive amount of pressure: large homework loads, standardized tests, school admissions and highly competitive extracurricular activities. They are as stressed out as most adults, but not often taught how to handle this stress. Our goal is to help kids release stress and encourage them to participate in activities that promote peace of mind. This is done through daily martial arts, yoga and meditation sessions. Ages 7-14. No prior martial arts or yoga experience is necessary.
Back to Tae Kwon Do Camp August 29-Sept.2
This camp is for kids that go away for the summer, and don’t practice Tae Kwon Do while they’re gone. Since so many kids forget their forms over the summer, the camp will place a special emphasis on form review, as well as basic kicking and blocking techniques. Kids will not only have fun, but be able to resume Tae Kwon Do in September where they left off in the spring. Ages 4-14, al belt levels.
