Foundation Level One to Three (suitable for 4,5 & 6yo)

Overview

Our Foundation Programme for Toddlers is specially designed for little ones taking their very first steps into structured learning. In this joyful and nurturing programme, children are introduced to Taekwondo through play-based movement, simple routines, and interactive activities. We focus on building coordination, listening skills, confidence, and social awareness - all while having lots of fun! At this age, it's not about perfection. It's about participation, courage, and building healthy habits from young.
