BTC is unique in that it not only has separate classes based on age and experience; it also has an entirely separate syllabus for 4 – 6 year olds, 7+ year olds, and teens, so each child participates at their own level in a safe, fun, and challenging learning environment.
As with all our programs fun is a key component, and we recognise that at this age where children are starting to establish their independence that it’s important they develop a passion for learning. The leaders program is part of the children’s path to black belt, and developing black belts habits and attitudes, including honesty, integrity, commitment, self-discipline, focus, respect, loyalty, teamwork and confidence. Of course they’ll also get fit, learn Tae kwon do, and practical self-defence skills that may one day save their life. Children at this age also enjoy being challenged as they learn, and having classes separated by age and experience level is a key to ensuring the kids have a great time with others their own age and experience level (imagine having kids from grade 1 – 7 at school all in the same class), while also being encouraged to give their their best. As children mature and prepare for and enter high school, it’s especially important to recognise the demands and challenges that secondary schooling brings.

At this age it’s vital that instructors are positive mentors, inspiring and challenging children to bring out their best. BTC’s instructors are renowned for their fun and innovative teaching style, the individual attention they give every child, their professionalism, and contagious enthusiasm. It takes a lot more than just a black belt. This is something that we recognise and is why our children’s Tae kwon do instructors are specially selected and trained.
All BTC children’s instructors undertake special training to help students achieve their goals in a fun, safe way, and of course they all have the “Working with Children” Blue Cards.
