Children’s Programs

Discipline. Respect. Coordination. Fighting Spirit.

Giving the gift of Martial Arts is one of the most rewarding things a parent can do for their child. At Cho’s Taekwondo, not only will your child develop physical skills, but more importantly the understanding of hard work and fighting spirit.

Our youngest student’s are taught from the first time that they enter our doors that no reward comes without hard work and effort. Our Children’s Program has comes directly from the 30 years of Martial Arts Experience of Grand Master Ameris. The program is proven and has produces a high number of success stories. From Naval Academy Cadets, to transforming socially challenged children into fighting black belts – Grand Master Ameris instructs each student with a passion that is unmatched and the attention that they deserve.

AIMAA Panthers (Ages 4-6)

The Panther’s curriculum is filled with fun and repetition. They come to the school. They run. They exercise and have fun. Before class starts, the children are shown a little affection: tying belts and inquiring about their day. The children understand that they are in a loving and supportive environment—even when class gets strict. As the class progresses, even the shyest of children can be seen emerging from their hesitations and joining in with the kicks, blocks and punches. At this age, self-confidence is a fundamental key to a solid character development.
