Panther Taekwondo Black Belt Academy Introductory Program

Our Introductory Program gives you two semi private Taekwondo lessons. This is a great opportunity to try out our program and learn about Taekwondo. If you think you might feel uncomfortable starting a Taekwondo program don't worry. Many other people have felt the same way. We found that our private introductory program makes it possible for you to attend classes more comfortably by knowing what will happen in class and being able to perform some basic techniques.

What you will learn:

Our introductory instructor will teach you basic punches, kicks and blocks. They will explain proper form and practice with you. We will teach you about the values of Taekwondo. Parents will learn how Panther Taekwondo classes are structured and how instruction and correction are used to educate the student.

Who will attend:

Our introductory program is design to expose the student to this martial art. It is important that both parents (of students under 18 yrs.) attend. Having family support allows students to feel comfortable and also encourages the student to succeed. We encourage you to bring a friend or family member to participate in the lesson if it will make you feel more comfortable.

Arranging Introductory Lessons:

To book your lessons call Panther Taekwondo on 0208 8130079. Our introductory lessons are by appointment only so please call ahead. Please give us a quick courtesy call if you are unable to attend a scheduled lesson. You first lesson will last about 30 minutes.

Our Children's Programs (Age 6~12)

We at Panther Taekwondo take great pride in our specialty in working with children. Classes are divided by age and skill to provide the best possible match of teaching style to each student"s need. All children are taught at their own pace so as to develop to their maximum potential. Children who train at Panther Taekwondo:

Develop self confidence and an "I can" attitude
Improve self discipline for better behaviour at home and school
Sharpen listening skills for improved grades (proven in independent studies)
Enhance coordination, strength and athletic ability
Have fun in classes, tournaments, demonstrations and other special events.

While training at Panther Taekwondo, children engage in a course of study requiring movement and physical challenges, not found in virtually any other activity. They come away with a tremendous feeling of self-worth and confidence that comes from doing something they may never have thought possible.

Children learn to respect and like themselves, making it easier to resist the negative peer pressure they are exposed to everyday.

Children, as well as adults, are required to pay respect to each other and all instructors at all times. They will learn to support each other as they dare to strive for higher goals, both in Tae Kwon Do and life. Tae Kwon Do will help them to make healthier choices in life and to push themselves to higher levels. Children must be encouraged to try to reach greater heights, even if it sometimes does not mean instant gratification. Until one tries, he or she cannot know of what they are capable.
