At Henleaze and Clifton Schools of Taekwon-Do we are very aware of the differences in the way various age groups learn. Our aim is to make every class an enjoyable learning experience, where our junior students make constant improvements.

P.U.M.A. has a dedicated Junior syllabus which is open to children between the ages of 6 & 14 and is geared towards the way children learn. As well as the traditional elements of Taekwon-Do, Juniors are taught important skills such as stranger awareness/evasion, what to do in awkward situations such as bullying, & self defence etc. Junior classes are 45 minutes long.

In addition we also do Cadet classes for junior students aged between 10 and 14. These classes follow a more adult syllabus, taught in a manner appropriate to this age group. There are three cadet classes per week and these are one hour long.

P.U.M.A.'s Junior syllabus includes many gradings & awards. Awards are also given for outside activities such as homework, keeping your room clean & generally helping out etc. There are many P.U.M.A. activities that children can take part in such as competitions, parties & training camps. As with the Little PUMAs, traditional martial arts teaching is mixed in with fun & games and again, parents are encouraged to watch.

There are many benefits of martial arts for children. These include improvements in self-confidence, discipline, concentration, teamwork & manners. Fitness, balance & co-ordination are important aspects of training in the Junior classes. The progress that children make is often quite astounding & P.U.M.A. has many Junior blackbelts who are champions in their own right & the instructors of the future.
