Programs
OUR PROGRAMS
Below are the programs offered at South Knoxville Taekwondo! Take a moment to browse them to see which on will be right for you and your family!
Children’s Classes
Teaching children is our specialty. Kid’s classes are broken down classes based on skill level, to allow them to develop their physical & mental skills properly & at their own pace. Motivation is positive and upbeat & the child soon discovers life skills such as courtesy, concentration, & self-control. Children also learn that by applying the principles of setting goals, making consistent efforts, & perseverance they can be highly successful in areas such as school, athletics, & social skills.
After School Martial Arts
The same great kid’s program done right after school so when your off work you can focus on family time! Students are picked up and transported to our school for daily martial arts classes, games, character building drills and more! This is a great alternative to traditional daycare / after school care.
Adult & Teen Classes
If you’ve always wanted the confidence to take care of yourself in a self defense situation, here is your opportunity. In addition to learning a highly effective means of self defense, you will also get yourself in incredible physical shape. You will improve your strength, flexibility, coordination and balance all in a fun and exciting format. Each new student starts slowly and progresses at his or her own pace. No matter what shape you’re in now, our instructors will help you feel at ease.
