GMAC Tae Kwon-Do are pleased to announce that we are introducing to our gyms the TKD Tigers (Total Kids Defence). This is an exciting new programme that is a lifer skills and Danger Awareness course, based around Tae Kwon-Do. Through fun activities and role playing games, the children learn how to deals with Strangers, Bullies, Emergencies and Day-to-Day dangers, building their self awareness and confidence at every stage.

The course lasts for 18 months, staring at Bronze and finishing at Gold whilst taking gradings to earn stripes and Awareness certificates on the Safety, Stranger Awareness, Bully Awareness, Team Work, and Leadership.

We conduct official gradings, where the children have an opportunity to show off the skills they have learnt and will be able to earn a stripe, a badge and a certificate on the day. This programme is currently being endorsed by professionals across the UK in Schools, the Firebrigade and the Police and is set to become as big as Yoga-Bugs.

Each child will receive a large book to practice their new techniques with the parents at home. The book shows drills for Stranger awareness, bully drills, good secret/bad secret etc… and will give your child the best opportunity to have a good strong foundation for their life ahead. The book is also a grading record of how they progress through the syllabus

Sometimes the parents to may be asked to join in with the sessions, this may be to act as a stranger or in some role-play activity. Each class lasts for 45 minutes and the children take part in one session per week. Please email us for more details and availability.
