Taekwondo for children

A versatile form of exercise, taekwondo improves children’s physical coordination and motor skills. In addition to technical skills, taekwondo training teaches the practitioners to respect other people and observe good manners.

At Mukwan, children’s training classes are divided into two age groups. These groups have both joint and separate training sessions. The age groups are as follows:

  • MiniKids (5 to 9 years)
  • Juniors (10 to 13 years)

The age limits given are indicative rather than definitive. For training outside a child’s own age group, please contact the instructors.

Please sign up to each class through Suomisport!

We request the parents/guardians of our MiniKid and Junior students to sign the children up for each class through the Suomisport app. 

While Mukwan encourages everyone to try their hand in competitive taekwondo, we do not require the students to participate in sparring or forms competition. But, if you're interested, just grab an instructor and tell him or her so!
