At L.I. TRADITIONAL TAE KWON DO CENTER, we realize the importance of teaching the martial arts to young children.

We have come to value and understand the importance of beginning one’s training at an earlier age. The strength of a child’s character is built upon the values of INTEGRITY and RESPECT. Starting with integrity as the foundation and adding self esteem, persistence, dedication and respect, we help build the kind of character the child needs to be successful in all aspects of their life at any age.

The results of our Martial Arts Programs are obvious - using positive reinforcement we reward all efforts accomplishments and in-turn your child develops:

• Great self-confidence and higher self-esteem
• Improved overall physical fitness, balance and coordination
• Focus, concentration and increased attention span
• Practical self-defense skills awareness
• Appreciation for values as loyalty, dedication and respect
