A fun path to becoming a Black Samurai!

The Black Samurai Program for 7-12 year olds is the start of your child’s path to black belt, and developing black belts habits and attitudes including honesty, integrity, commitment, self-discipline, focus, respect, loyalty, and confidence.

As beneficial as all these attributes will be for your children while at school and later in life, without a fun learning environment, lets face it, if they don’t enjoy it, they won’t stick to it, and they won’t learn any of these worthwhile things. That’s why our instructors work very hard to provide a fun environment where children can have a great time with kids their own age and experience.

Syllabus specifically designed for 7-12 year olds

BTC is unique in that it not only has separate martial arts classes based on age and experience – it also has an entirely separate syllabus for 7-12 year olds. This way, each child participates at their own level in a safe, fun, and challenging learning environment.  Children at this age also enjoy being challenged as they learn, and having martial arts classes separated by age and experience level is a key to ensuring the kids have a great time with others their own age and ability (imagine having kids from grade 1 – 7 at school all in the same class), while also being positively challenged to bring out their best.

More than just instructors – heroes!

Not everyone has the ability to teach children. At BTC we recognise that a special gift is needed to inspire them and that’s why we select our children’s instructors very carefully and train them to provide age appropriate excitement and challenges in every class. Our instructors are renowned for their fun and innovative teaching style, the individual attention they give every child, their professionalism, and contagious enthusiasm.

“My son (eight) and daughter (six) both enjoy Taekwondo at BTC.  They have been practicing for a number of years now and their self confidence has improved dramatically.  The lessons are fun and well structured.  We can recommend BTC to anyone who wants to start Taekwondo.”

“Taekwondo has developed Nicholas’s fitness and control.  He really enjoys each class and trains hard in anticipation of the next grading.  Regular grading has encouraged goal settings at achievable levels.”
