What is the ideal age for a child to start training?

Most of our youngest students find their footing between 3 and 6 years old . This is a fantastic developmental window where kids possess the physical coordination to learn basic movements and the cognitive ability to follow a structured group setting, while still being young enough to absorb habits like focus and respect naturally. For the 3-6 crowd: We developed our Tiny Tigers program. It swaps rigid, long drills for fast-paced, movement-heavy games that channel big energy into foundational listening skills. For developing kids (6-8): More structure and traditional martial arts techniques are introduced in our Lil' Dragons program. While the emphasis is still FUN, we also begin to master more traditional Korean martial arts techniques. For older kids (7 to teens): You haven't missed a thing. We regularly welcome absolute beginners at age 7, 11, or 14 who progress rapidly because they can grasp the concepts quickly.
