Tae Kwon DoEnrichmentTae Kwon Do ALL CLASSES HELD AT CHOSUN BLACK BELT ACADEMY - 7123 South 76th Street, Franklin, WI 53132 Open House for Session 1 classes = Tuesday, June 3 @ 5:00 PM Open House for Session 2 classes = Tuesday, July 22 @ 5:00 PM Little Ninjas Pre-School Tae Kwon Do (Ages 3 - 5) Little Ninjas is a class arranged in an easy-to-understand fashion that will help younger students to begin enjoying Tae Kwon Do at an early age. The perfect blend of gross motor skill building and fun! Our preschool martial arts program gives your little one the tools to surpass their development expectations. Students who begin this young in Tae Kwon Do (and just about anything else for that matter) tend to learn longer term. In class there will be an emphasis placed on the physical techniques so that the student’s body can begin growing with the movements. This includes lots of running, jumping, climbing and crawling in order to help use up some of the little ones’ almost-endless supply of energy. The very basics of Tae Kwon Do will be covered in this course, with additions of important outside-aspects for children of this age, such as learning stranger self defense, fire safety and (lost in the store) mall safety. This is one of the most popular courses due to its ability to keep young children interested, active and engaged! Students will be "sampling" the general classes to get an idea of what training in a regular class is like, so there may be other higher belts in the same class. Family Tae Kwon Do (Ages 6 - Adult) Tae Kwon Do is a wonderful activity to practice as a family! Parents will have a great time working out with their children in the same class. Tae Kwon Do has SO many benefits for both children AND adults that it makes it the perfect way to stay fit and have fun TOGETHER. For adults, TKD helps to increase flexibility, relieve stress, strengthen balance and learn life-saving self defense. In children, TKD helps to improve confidence, increase focus, build stronger physical skills like balance, coordination and agility, in addition to building great goal setting skills. No matter the reason for practicing Tae Kwon Do initially, students of the art benefit physically, mentally and spiritually. Practice Tae Kwon Do together but feel the benefits as an individual! Students will be "sampling" the general classes to get an idea of what training in a regular class is like, so there may be other higher belts in the same class. Youth Tae Kwon Do (Ages 6 - 12) Tae Kwon Do is the Korean art of self-defense. This art is taught to children to instill self-discipline and promote physical fitness. They will learn new skills every time they train and enjoy a sense of accomplishment, more focus and concentration, respect for authority, and self defense. Confidence will build after each successful class is completed. This class also includes “mat chats” to help with various life skills such as bully prevention, responsibility, discipline, good manners and habits of a healthy lifestyle among others. Students will be "sampling" the general classes to get an idea of what training in a regular class is like, so there may be other higher belts in the same class.Summer 2025

Yoga/Pilates ComboFitnessYoga/Pilates Combo Adults 18+ Yoga enhances your inner self by focusing on increasing strength, balance and flexibility using nostril breath to warm and relax the body. Pilates breathing is a forceful mouth exhalation and a passive nostril inhalation (a natural response to the exhalation). Pilates trains the body from the core outward. This dynamic concept of training is consistent with the way we live and move. Everything we do, from putting away groceries, to moving furniture, to shoveling snow requires that we actively stabilize from the core in order to effectively use our extremities as we perform work and movement. In order to safely and effectively use the strength of our "movers", the arms and legs, we must strengthen the stabilizers of our core. To do so we center the body by stabilizing the pelvis and training muscles to be both movers and stabilizers. Posture is improved and the spine becomes better aligned. Muscles become balanced and fluidity and grace are achieved. This form of exercise is gentle, yet challenging. The exercises are progressive and can be modified to each individual's needs and ability. Exercises are performed on a Yoga mat, using a variety of positions, standing, seated, supine, prone, kneeling, and side lying.Summer 2025
