I have 3 daughters that each started TKD when they were age 8. The eldest is now 19. I put her in TKD to learn self-defense because she was small for her age and shy. She's no longer small or shy and can look after herself. The development in her sisters has been similar. The object was self-defense, but they got so much more out of it. They gained great confidence, strength, flexibility, focus,respect for others, lasting friendships and leadership skills. I get compliments on my children all the time.
They trained a minimum of 3 times per week and 5 or 6 times per week if preparing for a competition or promotion test. TKD was a major part of their lives during their formative years. The lessons and values learned will be with them for life. All of this is down to the quality of the master and other members of the school. It's very family oriented, but someone can train to achieve what they want at this school. My children could attend as often as they wanted - no extra charge. Two of them have now competed at the national level.
