We run a class for our "mini-kids" - this class is aimed at kids from the age of 6 up to 10 and is a fun way to get into Taekwon-Do. The class is a mixture of theory, practice and games.
The mini-kids programme is held on Wednesday nights only from 5:30pm - 6:30pm and is currently run by Mr. Bob Brown, with assistance from other students in the class.
During this time it is expected that a parent or caregiver be present (there is seating available inside the gym). From time to time we might even ask you to help out a little with the class.
Mini-kids will be issued with their own workbook which shows exactly what is required to progress through the syllabus. This book is referenced during the class so it must be brought each night. As each mini-kid completes the sections they will be tested and be given stripes for their white belt to indicate their progress.
The mini-kid belt progress is indicated as follows:
As the kids become confident and able to do so they will grade to the yellow stripes and join the main class where they can continue their training.
* All stripes except yellow stripe can be given by a club instructor. The yellow stripe is the first of the national grading stripes that must be given by a nationally qualified instructor.
Note: If at any time you have any concerns, questions or comments for the instructors about your child please let them know.
The mini-kids class runs on Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Unlike the main class, the mini-kids class takes a break during school holidays.
We are an ITF Taekwon-Do club in Mosgiel, New Zealand. We are led by Mr. Bob Brown, 2nd dan and we train on Monday and Wednesday evenings and have extra activities throughout the year. Membership is open to anyone over the age of six and your membership allows you to train with any other ITF club world-wide.
Not sure if Taekwon-Do is right for you? You can come along to the club and observe or try for free for one month, no strings attached. Find out more.
Taekwon-Do has many physical and mental health benefits, and promotes both personal achievement and working with others - see if it's right for you.
We teach self defence which is only effective if it becomes a reflex. We cover awareness, avoidance, releases, counter-attacks and your rights under NZ law.
Starting Taekwon-Do is the biggest hurdle, but not for our kids - we have a good group of kids who love to work and play together to learn about Taekwon-Do.
