The Kid’s Program at East Side Tae Kwon Do has earned the reputation as being the best in New York City, with good reason. Our expert instructors motivate, manage and inspire kids from 2 to 12 years old. They have years of experience teaching all types: kids with low self-esteem, kids with discipline problems, kids who have been deemed “unathletic,” and kids within a large spectrum of special needs.
East Side Tae Kwon Do teaches developmentally appropriate, traditional Tae Kwon Do classes. The benefits of Tae Kwon Do for kids are many, including:
- Greater physical stamina, strength and flexibility
- Increased self-esteem
- Better mental focus
- Improved discipline
- Respect for others
Because Tae Kwon Do strengthens the mind/body connection, kids who train consistently in Tae Kwon Do are able to excel at most of the other mental/physical activities they pursue later in life.
