Will My Child Become A Bully?

A specific part of our preschool and kids martial arts classes at Stephen Strouss TaeKwonDo Knoxville in Knoxville is teaching respect, and teaching when to use their new self defense training and when to NOT use them.  We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies.  And have more humility and kindness to others though their martial arts lessons.

Are Parents Allowed To Watch?

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons.  We love parents getting involved!  And so do their kids.  Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults.   Your kids will love that you have something in common.  It will build a strong family bond!

Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’?  Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee.  They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids.  Really… It’s their PASSION!
