Prosper TX TaeKwonDo<\/h2>\n

We designed four classes ourselves for our students of different age groups. It is crucial for kids<\/a> to be in a class with their peers so they can challenge one another. This way, they do not become bored, stay engaged, and can keep up.<\/p>\n

Tiger-Cubs<\/h3>\n

Our youngest students, children from four to six years old, are our Tiger-Cubs. These students work on their early childhood development skills with us, coordination, balance, and symmetrical movements. Through repetition, our Tiger-Cubs learn our forms and their fine motor skills.<\/p>\n

Plus, we get to pass down essential lessons like respecting and paying attention to your seniors. And they get more opportunities to hang out with their friends and learn good sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

In addition, martial arts is a healthy way to spend that extra energy school can leave you with. Our 30-minute workouts can be the most fun they will have all week.<\/p>\n

Juniors<\/h3>\n

TaeKwonDo students from ages six to eleven years old learn in our Junior classes. This time is probably the best age to start learning TaeKwonDo. Kids of this age love martial arts, most of all. Besides, they can learn better our kicking and striking techniques, sparring, and forms. And if they were a Tiger-Cub, we can continue their education from where we left off.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in this age group, we have the chance to bring up more serious subjects. Our classes include our anti-bullying education and teach valuable lessons about stranger awareness. We leave our students better equipped to deal with the outside world.<\/p>\n

Teens<\/h3>\n

Our students from ages twelve to fifteen years old train in our teen classes. Because they can handle a greater level of autonomy, we can teach them more advanced techniques and forms. They can advance higher up the ranks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TaeKwonDo is an excellent extracurricular activity. It gets in as much of a sweat as any other sport. Also, it instills good citizenship and leadership skills. Together, they motivate one another to be the best they can.<\/p>\n

Our Adult Classes<\/a><\/h3>\n

We combine the Korean art of TaeKwonDo with the latest developments in fitness to develop an all-round workout. Our class gives you a heart-pounding, calorie-burning, after-work run for your money.

Competition and Cooperation<\/h3>\n

You can also choose to compete. Sparring is, after all, an international sport. And we at Tiger-Rock hold three tournaments every year. We have regional, state, and national competitions in the fall, spring, and summer.<\/p>\n

But our students also compete and cooperate in our classes. Our students compete while they spar. And they assist each other when setting up each other\u2019s drills. Every day, they are helping their peers become better than they were before.<\/p>\n

Self-Defense<\/h3>\n

But, of course, the self-defense aspect is still relevant. By combining our Prosper TX TaeKwonDo with moves from other fighting styles, we teach applicable real-world techniques. Bullying is a serious issue, as it can be a constant source of anxiety and cause trauma for the victim. Our anti-bullying education consists of teaching awareness, communication, and self-defense.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avoidance is always the first step in our teaching. Ultimately, TaeKwonDo is first and foremost about self-discipline and self-defense. This means practicing self-restraint and non-violence. For example, we teach the correct tone, stance, and diction to convey confidence and avoid escalating a situation. And if they ever find themselves in danger, they will have the tools they need to defend themselves.<\/p>\n

Building Character<\/h3>\n

Taekwondo is more than a sport or a workout. It has a philosophy that goes along with it. The fundamental tenets behind TaeKwonDo are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.<\/p>\n

The Origin of Tae Kwon Do<\/h3>\n

The martial arts we teach at Tiger-Rock are primarily based in TaeKwonDo, a relatively new Korean fighting style. TaeKwonDo is stylized by spinning kicks, head-height kicks, sidekicks, and strikes.<\/p>\n

TaeKwonDo came out of the post-War 40s and 50s in Korea. The Japanese occupation forced dojos to go underground. Afterward, the older Chinese and Korean traditions like Subak, Taekkyon, Gwonbeop, and the Okinawan Karate were able to practice in the open again. Students blended and what we recognize as TaeKwonDo today formed.<\/p>\n

It is not only a fighting style, though. Today, TaeKwonDo is also a sport. In fact, it is the national sport of North and South Korea. Since 2000, it has been a competitive sport in the Olympics. What’s more, the governing body of tournaments, the World TaeKwonDo Federation, has its capital and the World TaeKwonDo Academy, Kukkiwon, in Seoul.<\/p>\n
