Youth Tang So Do Classes Build Benefits For Life
Listening Skills
Listening is a skill just like kicking and punching! But listening is hard to do when you're middle school age. Our instructors give easy to understand instructions that help kids learn how to listen in and out of the class!
Taking Instruction
A coachable kid is a successful kid! From teachers to instructors to parents, children have to be able to discern sage advice when they hear it. And we make it so much fun that they love to practice being coachable.
Social Skills
Social Skills like interaction with peers, understanding social cues, working with others in a shared space and more - these are hugely important skills that will help your preschooler thrive!

20.4% of kids
American children are obese or are at risk for obesity
To help fight and prevent Obesity, kids need to move! The reality though is that our lives aren't setup for movement. With 7+ hour seated school days and busy parent work schedules, it's tough to keep modern kids healthy.
8M U.S. Kids
Lead sedentary lives
It's too easy for kids nowadays to become sedentary and carry that into adulthood. The healthy habits learned at Yennie Martial Arts can benefit kids for life, and can fight the seemingly inevitable march of adult onset health issues.
40% of Adults
Almost half of Adults are sedentary
More and more it seems inevitable that as kids grow into adults, they slow down and become unhealthy. It doesn't have to be this way, but we have to create healthy movements habits before it's too late.

Traditional Sports
Being left out if you're 'not good enough'
unhelpful, untrained amateur coaches
Physical skills only; no focus on character development
Too many practices and games,
leaving precious little family time
Traditional Youth Sports don't work for most kids.
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
Tang Soo Do
All kids are always included,
physically gifted or not
Trained, caring, professional instructors
Physical skills kids love, but an intentional
focus on life skills kids need
Reasonable expectations for attendance and participation leaving plenty of family time
Tang Soo Do is the perfect solution
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
