How old is the child to practice taekwondo?

Many parents try their best to enroll their children in various training classes in order to let them learn more knowledge. In fact, this is a bad behavior.

If the child is young, because his body and bones are not fully developed, he can't meet the requirements of balance and muscle strength when practicing Taekwondo. At the same time, it will also have an impact on children's psychology. Children's emotional self-control is poor. If they practice antagonistic sports like Taekwondo, they are prone to violence, which is not good for children's physical and mental development.

It is found that children are not suitable to practice Taekwondo before they are three years old, otherwise it will not only be bad for children to exercise, but also easy to cause injuries. Health Network suggests that preschool children should not do high-intensity and difficult sports.

At the same time, remind parents that children after the age of three should also prevent potential safety hazards to their bodies when practicing Taekwondo. Because children are still young, their perception of danger is not high, and their prevention of danger and protection of themselves are insufficient, they may cause injuries when performing difficult movements.

Five or six years old is the best age to start learning Taekwondo, because children in this period have normal physical development, their minds are still blank, and no bad habits have been formed. When you get older, you will have some stable thoughts, which are difficult to change. Taekwondo is to cultivate a person's cultivation and virtue from an early age.

The most suitable age for taekwondo training is 6- 12 years old, because the child's bones are not fully developed at this time. Ligaments are also easier to pull apart. The most important thing is that children at this time just start to remember things, and what they have learned will not be easily forgotten. However, the children trained at this time will have a disadvantage in the future, that is, there will be some bowlegs, that is, O-legs, which requires parents to correct their children's bad posture in time.

It is best for children to learn taekwondo at the age of seven.

The best age to learn Taekwondo is 7 years old. Liu Yuhua, a Taekwondo coach of Qian Shan Evening News Bowen Foreign Language Art Training School with five years' teaching experience, said that children's mental flexibility, explosiveness and receptivity around the age of seven are the best time to learn Taekwondo, and children will make rapid progress in this prime time. Specifically, the best learning age for girls is six or seven years old, and that for boys is seven or eight years old. In addition, because Taekwondo consumes physical strength, the diet during study emphasizes the intake of high-protein food. According to his own experience and characteristics of learning Taekwondo, coach Liu Yuhua provides the following recipes for young learners: breakfast: 4 eggs, a cup of milk or rice porridge; Lunch: beef or mutton (which can be mixed in a planned way according to the family situation, not necessarily eaten every day), vegetables, you should be eight points full, not too full; Dinner: vegetables etc. , mainly light food.

Taekwondo "self-cultivation"

It is understood that Taekwondo, like China Wushu, is an important part of oriental traditional culture. Taekwondo emphasizes the improvement of "Taekwondo" and "Tao", that is, students should not only learn attack and defense, but also improve their moral level in the process of practicing martial arts. For example, Taekwondo should salute the national flag before each practice, and then salute the coach. In practice, whenever you have contact with coaches and peers, you should salute before practice. The atmosphere and spirit of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and righteousness that pervades the whole process will gradually form the emotional foundation of practitioners. At the same time, in the process of Taekwondo practice, students are required to have the qualities of courage, being good at fighting, daring to fight, self-confidence and tenacity, which are conducive to the formation of students' perfect personality.
