Quest Hapkido Kids Program
Terrific Tigers Program
Our Terrific Tigers Program is designed for our youngest students aged 5 and 6. The Terrific Tigers classes focus primarily on helping our students to develop the focus, self-control, respect and positive attitude needed to succeed in martial arts, at home and at school. While many of the activities present in this class may seem like games, each drill is specifically designed to work on the above life skills.
Since the students in the Tigers Program tend to have shorter attention spans than our older students, the class runs only 30 minutes to help the students stay focused and to get the most out of their time. Our program features numerous tools which can be used at home and are then positively reinforced in class to help our students develop self-discipline, respect and reading skills.
Our primary goal in Terrific Tigers is to develop focus and self-control. We teach the students how to behave in a classroom environment and how to work safely and respectfully with a partner while developing fundamental martial arts motions and getting our students excited about training in martial arts!
Children's Program
Our Children’s Program is designed for students aged 7 to 10. The Children’s Program focuses primarily on teaching our students self-control, focus, confidence and respect and how to use those life skills in the dojang, at home, and at school.
This program’s curriculum prepares our students for learning our youth- and adult-level techniques while avoiding the more dangerous joint-locks and focuses instead on striking, kicking, and takedown techniques involving larger, safer motions. When working with another student, we teach our students how to work safely and respectfully with their partners. We also require students at this level to retain each technique taught to them.
The students in our Children’s Program attend class twice a week. Since martial arts is not a team sport, we offer a great degree of schedule flexibility. We offer Children’s Classes four days each week with each class lasting about 45 minutes. You may choose which two days to attend.
Our program features numerous tools which can be used at home and are then positively reinforced in class to help our students develop self-discipline, respect and reading skills. We also recognize and reward our students who earn excellent grades at school.
Our goal in the Children’s Program is to teach our students the self-control and self-discipline needed to move up to the Youth Program, along with providing a solid foundation from which to learn the advanced techniques of the Youth and Adult Programs.
Youth Program
Our Youth Program is designed for students over the age of 10 who are not yet old enough or ready for the Adult Program. The Youth Program focuses primarily on teaching our students the respect, self-control, focus and positive attitude needed to succeed in martial arts, at home and at school. We also train our students how to set and achieve goals, both in the dojang and in other areas of their lives.
The Youth Program’s curriculum utilizes the same advanced techniques as our Adult Program, but only requires the students to retain about half as many techniques for each belt. During self-defense, we teach our students how to work safely and respectfully with their partners. Since the techniques are more advanced than those in the Children’s Program, we emphasize using excellent self-control when practicing.
The students in our Youth Program attend class twice a week. Since martial arts is not a team sport, we offer a great deal of schedule flexibility. We offer five Youth Classes each week with each class lasting about an hour. You may choose which two days to attend.
Our program features numerous tools which can be used at home and are then positively reinforced in class to help our students develop self-discipline, respect and reading skills. We also recognize and reward our students who earn excellent grades at school.
Our goal in the Youth Program is to help our students successfully navigate this challenging time in their lives by helping them to develop the skills and character traits needed to excel, and by helping them develop the maturity and self-motivation needed to do well in our Adult Program.
