520 |a Discusses the history and philosophy of taekwondo, and covers classes, warming up and stretching, practicing, earning belts, and competing in tournaments. A fun and accessible introduction to studying taekwondo-designed specifically with the interests and capabilities of young martial artists in mind. First time martial arts students are not just starting a program of physical and mental practice. They are entering a new world-one that not only has new rules, new goals, and even new clothing-but that also offers them lots of new opportunities for fun and accomplishment. Taekwondo for Kids will help prepare kids to start learning about taekwondo and help them practice at home. It includes thorough introductions to the history and philosophy of the techniques, what to expect in the first few classes, how to warm up and practice, advice on setting goals, and information on competitions and tournaments. With over 75 full-color illustrations, including 40 clearly diagrammed karate exercises, along with lots of fun facts and informative sidebars written in kid-friendly jargon-free language. This is the perfect introduction for the younger martial artist.
