At a young age, the focus is on Discipline and fitness. Lets be honest, discipline is tough to teach, even more tough to learn. We disguise these life skills, as skills they need for their belt test. The Taekwondo kids want that next belt, and will do anything to get it. This is when Grades, chores, or any other hardship becomes a test requirement. We tell them to do their homework and clean their room, allowing the parents to focus on a different aspect of raising their children. We go into the benefits in detail below. We offer Taekwondo classes for kids for Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach residents.

Generally speaking, children are usually able to begin our basic Taekwondo class at 2 and a half years old. However there are those children that may be ready at 2, and those who may need more time before they can begin.
If you are interested in putting your child in our Dragons class (2-3 yrs.), bring them by our academy for a free evaluation. We will be pleased to work
with them for 10 to 15 min, then either allow them to begin, or suggest a period of time which may be sufficient for them to mature just a bit more. This also gives a parent a chance to see how our program works, gives the child a chance to see if he or she even likes it, and gives the instructor a chance to meet you and your child, and give a professional opinion, before you make a decision.

TIGERS
A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TEACH CHILDREN 4-7 YEARS OLD
While Taekwondo students of all ages have unique learning needs, students of the ages that constitute our Tigers program have particular needs which are especially crucial to develop.
These vital needs are personified in many ways, among them the transition between a child’s home environment and the new and often challenging requirements that participation in the academic world brings.
Parents may find themselves frustrated when their youngster encounters difficulty adjusting to the structured environment of the scholastic world. Some children are more well-behaved than others, as we all know, but ALL children will encounter some type of difficulty in this period of their lives, where academic and home-life patterns are being developed and established.

The Masters in Mecca’s kids Taekwondo classes in Lighthouse Point Florida understands the needs of this special age group, and our program is designed to aid your youngster in this learning process. Whether emphasis is required in the areas of fitness, discipline, focus, self-control, confidence, listening, or a less-defined characteristic, our method of Taekwondo instruction will bring about positive results in your child.
Parents often find themselves in the unenviable position of having to be the “bad guy” in order to correct a certain behavior displayed in a child’s day-to-day academic performance. The role of a instructor is to assist families in this regard, insofar as that the position of stern disciplinarian can be delegated to the instructor, leaving the nurturing side of the coin to the parent(s).
Often times as we all know, the very same instruction or admonition coming to a child from a source outside the family structure is heeded, while it may fall on deaf ears when issued from the same person the child views as “mommy” or “daddy”.
Parents are often delighted when a particularly tough issue arises, and rather than having to deal with the sometimes painful needs of strong discipline themselves, they are able to refer such a problem to their child’s Martial Arts instructor, thereby absolving them from the frustration that the youngster will inevitably feel at such correction.
For the few children that are able to somehow escape any or all such scholastic difficulties and even any behavioral issues at home, Taekwondo can be a fun, exciting, and rewarding form of exercise that instills achievement and excellence in a student, as well as teaching them practical self-defense techniques. If you are looking for kids Taekwondo classes in Lighthouse Point, get your youngster involved in our Tigers Taekwondo program today.

in the development of this unique age group.

JUNIORS
A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TEACH CHILDREN 8-12 YEARS OLD
Few periods of a person’s life are as filled with challenge and change as those defined as pre-teen and early teen years. While it is certain that ALL stages and periods of life bring with them their own unique challenges and difficulties, the transition from child into young adult is perhaps the hardest for a number of reasons; adjusting from the relatively controlled demands of early childhood into the beginnings of the teen years and the limited freedoms that progression brings can often be difficult for a young person to understand.

Our kids Taekwondo school has created an environment for our students that is both structured and fun. While not everyone is concerned with becoming a “top-class fighter” in this lifetime, the skills one acquires during the course of martial study are invaluable not only in the apparent aspect of self-defense and fitness, but also especially so in more intangible facets such as confidence when performing or speaking in front of large groups of people.
"There are few, if any, activities that can have as profound and significant of an effect, in regards to these concerns, as formal training in the Martial Arts and Taekwondo for Kids"
