Sydney Academy of Taekwondo
School in Warringah

Our mission is to provide the safe teaching of techniques within an age appropriate structure, catering to the individual's ability. A strong focus on strengthening suppleness and stamina related exercises is encouraged. As students become more proficient they will learn the more dynamic techniques of Taekwondo like jumping spinning combination along with offensive and defensive skills. The rudimentary self-defense moves of Taekwondo, punching, such as kicking, striking blocking and evasion teach the student co-ordination and concentration. The physical benefits of Taekwondo will be immediately noticeable for children and adults of all ages. Our objective is to provide Taekwondo training designed to suit varying ages, for ages: 5-6yrs, we have training 6 days a week at 3 venues, "Little Dragons" 7-9yrs & 10-14yrs "Juniors" & 15yrs -adults. A strong understanding of the basic concepts and movements is required before any student is involved in contact activities. Senior classes (15yrs and over) are designed to give the individual a dynamic work out with emphasis given to stretching strengthening and stamina related exercises. Non-contact skills are encouraged for safety and confidence at the beginning stages. Taekwondo at junior levels 7-14yrs requires physical involvement in organised games or activities within an accepted set of rules. Active children become healthy adults and we have a key role in contributing to this outcome. We aim to instill facts and skills in students so they can set set goals and achieve personal bests..Regular participation in a physical activity such as Taekwondo is associated with a range of physical and mental health benefits both in childhood and adulthood.
