At SLIDELL KICKS TAEKWONDO CENTER, our children's programs are second to none.  You see, we realize that although the ability to defend oneself is important, there are far more important benefits to be had from involving your child in a martial arts program.  That's why our unique program of work and fun is designed to instill:

þ SELF-DEFENSE- Children's self defense takes many forms.  The martial arts teaches children to think instead of panic in potentially serious situations as well as how to appropriately react to threats from other kids and how to handle peer pressure.

þ SELF-CONFIDENCE- It doesn't come naturally for many children, but rather is developed over a period of time.  As a child accomplishes new goals, his or her confidence level increases.  Children become more self confident in martial arts because they progress individually at their own pace and are not judged against others.

þ COORDINATION- Martial arts challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility and poise, often neglected in many team sports available to children in this age group.

þ EVERY CHILD WINS- In the martial arts every kid can be a winner instead of a bench sitter because martial arts allows children to reach for their own potential rather than directly competing against other kids.

þ ADDITIONAL BENEFITS- The martial arts offer many other benefits for children such as improved concentration and self-discipline both of which contribute to improve performance in school.

þ CLASSES FOR CHILDREN ONLY- We pride ourselves in offering classes for children only.  As professional instructors, we realize that children have specific training needs and requirements that can best be answered in their own classes since they learn differently from teenagers and adults.

By embodying the above principles into our children's self defense classes, the SLIDELL KICKS TAEKWONDO CENTER has made a strong commitment to the development of today's youth.  Our specially structured programs will improve your child's performance in all other sports as well as improving study habits and concentration.
