Taekwondo/Self defense for Girls 11-13

Service Description

The "tween" years can be exciting for young girls but also stressful. Physical changes, social pressure, bullying, and a growing sense of maturity and independence means that girls are looking at the world in a different way, and may need a new toolbox of skills. Not yet independent, they need guidance to make healthy choices and get support when necessary. Classes will combine both traditional Taekwondo and rank testing as well as delving further into practical self defense techniques, both verbal and physical. (Parents, this is also a great time to book a one-on-one training session to “check in” with your daughter and learn self defense skills and principles with them. Think about what boundaries make sense, what needs to be negotiated in order to keep lines of communication open. This is at once, a challenging, supportive, and nurturing experience for all involved.
