the Price of Tae Kwon Do for Kids

I paid for 6 weeks of lessons, one lesson a week for my 6 year old daughter to learn Tae Kwon Do. The class was for 5 to 8 year olds and was on Saturday morning. The class was small, with 10 students one instructor and two helpers who were teen agers.

Each class lasted about an hour. The first few minutes was a exercise in balancing the mind, or meditation. The rest was active exercise.

The service was great. Parents were welcome to stay and watch and we did, sitting on bleachers a ways away so not to distract. The instructor was very good with kids and kept a nice balance between serious and playful. Our daughter really learned a lot, I think it helped her confidence and physical balance. The kids were excited to have an exhibition at the end of the six weeks and I think it was a nice touch.

Ask about additional expenses, like the uniform and if travel is involved. I am told in more advanced classes there are exhibitions in other parts of the state. Make sure your child's class mates are in the same age group or close, so they feel safe with the physical contact. Of course, always ask for references on the instructor and talk to other parents who know him or her before you leave your child with them.
