Mountain Kim's Tae Kwon Do program is great for all ages. Children learn not only self defense but also learn leadership, responsibility and how to be a strong individual alltogether. Adults look at Tae Kwon Do as not only a way to get back into shape but also as an outlet for stressful workdays while striking the heavy bag. Both children and adults will find it fun and beneficial in getting in or staying in shape. Families learn to work together and to help each other out. The basic Tae Kwon Do program will include some conditioning, stretching, lots of striking and blocking drills, forms, and board breaking. The most important aspect to learning the practicallity of the art is sparring. Sparring will be conducted in every class (No belt classes excluded) and participants MUST have proper feet and hand pads as well as a mouthguard. All regular class sparring is light contact. While learning Tae Kwon Do is great, a student can't learn how to defend himself/herself without daily sparring practice.

"Lil' Tykes" Kwon Do is great for children who are between 3 and 6 years old. These classes are shorter than normal classes so the children are able to focus on the lesson plan rather than how long class will last. Parental involvement is strongly encouraged when they are able to stay. Kids are more comfortable working with a parent than with a stranger so parents will be able to hold kicking paddles and bags for their kids and give them extra encouragement from mom or dad that kids love. Children will learn basic kicks, punches, blocks, and stances in these classes with more emphasis put on various physical activies and games. The belt system is different for the "Lil' Tykes" program but the children still get a sense of accomplishment with their new belts. All children who graduate from the "Lil' Tykes" program will have earned a white belt for the regular program. Some children may have an ability to advance into a regular Tae Kwon Do class before the normal age of 6. This will be on a case by case basis.

On the first Friday of each month, Tae Kwon Do classes will end at 6pm to allow for our "Parents Night Out" program. This is a free service for all students or parents of students. Grown ups are able to go out to dinner and a movie again while their kids are in a safe and family friendly environment. You don't have to worry about anything. Dinner will be supplied by us. Entertainment may consist of a movie and/or some games. Toddlers are always welcome but there will be a diaper fee. Also, if you want to go out on a double date, friends are always welcome for a nominal fee. Go out and enjoy yourselves, at least once a month.

Full Contact Sparring is for students who have advanced to the rank of Green Stripe and above. This is a great way to fine tune your sparring skills and to experience what competition sparring is like. Some rounds may be interupted by Mr. Howard in order to guide the students on better sparring techniques. Also, some advanced sparring drills may be included in the cirriculum of this class in order to better train the students. Participation will only be allowed if protective gear is worn. This gear consists of hand and foot pads, chest pad, head pad, mouthguard, and a groin protective cup is optional but highly recommended. If a student does not remember to bring this gear, or does not have access to this gear, he will NOT be permitted to participate fully in Full Contact Sparring class.
