Nowadays kids have too much time on their hands. They tend to get bored easily, fill their idle minds with video games, and the percentage of overweight children is nearly an epidemic. This is where Tae Kwon Do can help. In days gone by kids got a lot more exercise than they do now. Joining a martial arts program can really help them to not only build strength and agility, but it will also help to raise their self-esteem and confidence levels.
Personal account stories have shown that many children who were threatened by bullies no longer have to worry about whether or not they’ll be beat up on the playground once they learn some Tae Kwon Do skills. No, the moves shouldn’t be used to show off or harm others, but when a child knows that he/she can take care of themselves and not remain a victim, this can do so much for their confidence.
It can be beneficial for adults too! It’s an excellent stress reducer, and helps to develop discipline and patience, not to mention offering a strenuous yet fun workout.
Parents, why not take Tae Kwon Do classes with your kids? This would be an excellent way to bond with your kids, while showing them the importance of exercise and self-defense.
In Tae Kwon Do For Kids And Adults, Curtis Glassberg covers why this style of martial art is so helpful. Curtis has been a practitioner for years now and feels that everyone, regardless of age, can benefit from this martial art.
Mr. Glassberg shares his own story of how and why he pursued Tae Kwon Do. Having ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder—he found that it greatly helped with his focus and his health in general. Too many children have this label pinned on them. Sometimes it is a true medical condition, but other times children are simply bored and have too much pent-up energy. A good martial arts program can do wonders for their mental, physical, and emotional health!
In his book he covers the various belt colors and the levels a student must complete before obtaining a black belt. Tae Kwon Do isn’t something you do for a few months, it should be a lifetime pursuit. The more you learn and the more you practice, the more it helps you inside and out. And it’s not just a few cool moves either, there are ceremonies, stances, and Korean phrases used during practice.

I expected more from the book. The information in this book is interesting for kids who are interested to know about taekwondo but I this book was edited poorly (repeated page for example). This book will be useful for kids aged 9 and below.
