"Generation X"
is our New syllabus which is unique to Imperial TaeKwon-Do Association and
the Nicholls Taekwon-Do Institute. It is an elite training system within
the Imperial Taekwon-Do Association for children aged between 5 - 7 years.
Which aims to lay a foundation of Taekwon-Do for many years of training.
The Imperial TaeKwon-Do syllabus is very
complex, with 24 patterns up to and including 7th Degree Black Belt. So
Generation X section has been introduced to help motivate and encourage
the younger generation to continue training in Taekwon-Do.
Generation X is meant to be fun, 45
minutes of solid training for a 5 -7 year old isn't. So here at Imperial
TaeKwon-Do we have broken up them 45 minute lessons with a few Skills &
Drills consisting of Co-ordination exercises, Balance & Awareness Games &
of course Kicking and Punching drills.
Also the grading system has altered from
that of an adult or older children's classes. We have introduced 5 Belts
for achievement Yellow - Green - Blue - Red & Black Striped White belts
are worn to signify the students level of technical attainment.
This will allow your child to recognize
the different grades, and we find it helps to motivate the children as
belt promotion is on an achievement grading assessment. Your child will
need all five achievement belts before they can take there first
TaeKwon-Do grading. To achieve all five belts normally takes a year - year
and a half.
Once your child has reached White Belt
Black Stripe they are then able to train with Taekwon-Do specific classes.
Training in a martial art is
not just about kicking and punching—it is a system to encourage
individuals to become a valued member of their society, this is as
relevant for children as for adults and builds on what
you have been teaching them at home, and what they are learning in
school.
In our opinion no other UK based organisation
can match the value we provide making our Taekwon-Do classes accessible to
all.
