The ITF Kids approach
The ITF Kids Development Programme is designed principally for ages 4–7, with possible adaptation for younger children. It combines introductory Taekwon-Do with movement, social learning and personal-safety topics, including bullying and encounters with strangers.
Choose a suitable group
Ask the instructor about the group’s age range, teaching approach, experience with beginners and opportunities for parents to communicate. A programme’s existence internationally does not mean every local club delivers it.
Before the first lesson
- Confirm the address, time, clothing and what to bring.
- Discuss any support your child needs.
- Ask about supervision, collection arrangements and photo permissions.
- Find out who handles concerns and how to contact them.
After the lesson, ask what your child enjoyed and what felt difficult. Read our safe training guide before committing to a group.
