The healthy growth of young children has always been a concern for parents, because we all know that their physical resistance cannot be compared with that of adults, so sometimes they are prone to diseases and injuries.

The practice process is not just the contraction of skeletal muscles, but the comprehensive use of brain functions such as spatial perception, experience, and type recognition. Therefore, it is very beneficial to develop children's spatial transformation, shape perception, etc., and improve their figurative thinking and creativity.

3. Cultivate the mind: Children should take the initiative to find ways to overcome difficulties, which will exercise their will, quality, and cultivate courage.

Knowing etiquette: Taekwondo advocates the martial spirit of "starting with etiquette and ending with etiquette", and emphasizes "learning etiquette before learning skills, and learning morality before practicing martial arts."

Taekwondo training can enable children to have the excellent qualities of seriousness, hard work, etiquette, and honesty; it can make children and teenagers more obedient and patient.
