The benefits and advantages for young people participating in Rhee Taekwondo
classes are enormous. The art
covers a great sphere of activities which promote a healthy lifestyle – these
include
confidence, coordination, self defence, fitness,
sport, goals and aims, an interest and discipline.
These benefits can only be
realized in the light of proper and qualified instruction. The Instructor must
possess the ability to understand the needs and problems of children in the
course of training and once these are detected then corrective measures can be
taken to ensure maximum benefit.
|
Confidence |
Lack of
confidence seems to be a major
problem in many children.
The opportunity to enable young people to mix and train
together with older people can instantly bring some form of pride
and achievement and a sense of maturity. With the presence of an
Instructor the children are willing to perform and try without the
distraction of teasing or pressure from peers. |
|
Coordination |
Coordination
is an important factor in childhood development.
Because of the simple, direct and scientifically developed
effective movements in Rhee Taekwondo, coordination is greatly
enhanced and,
strengthens efficiency. As in hand techniques, most movements are
designed to coordinate both arms, which provides a foundation to
using the basic methods of arm coordination. Coordination includes
leg techniques which enable development of further balancing. |
|
Self Defence |
Learning some degree of
self defence gives the child the
confidence to defend himself and avoid injury.
Once involved, children enjoy the challenge of progressing
through the stages of the art and come to realize there is more than
learning just how to defend themselves. |
|
Fitness |
Fitness
is an important part of a healthy life and it is now recognized that
to neglect physical fitness in children is a major cause of obesity
and ill health. Rhee
Taekwondo provides a great variety of movements and utilizes all
parts of the body in action, therefore ensuring a high level of
fitness. With the correct type of exercises children will have an
opportunity to develop and be healthy and strong. |
|
Sporting Abilities |
By training in Rhee Taekwondo children can greatly enhance their
sporting abilities. Because of the
nature of the techniques learnt in class, children greatly benefit
in areas of speed, coordination, timing, accuracy, balance and
reflex actions. |
|
Goals |
Progressing through the
goals of grades and coloured
belts as the child grows up, teaches them to set their sights on
higher achievements, and the discipline they have learnt in Rhee
Taekwondo is transferred to all aspects of their daily lives. |
|
Interest |
Some children are uninterested in sport but are willing to take up
self defence as an
interest for physical
conditioning. It provides an outlet for physical activity which
cannot be provided through other means. |
|
Discipline |
Rhee Taekwondo provides a high standard of competent Instructors who
demand respect and
discipline from their students.
Discipline is part of the code of practice for Rhee Taekwondo
students and is present in every aspect of the art.
An atmosphere of friendly discipline is maintained helping
the child to develop mental, physical and spiritual well being. |
