Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions About Master Kim's Tae Kwon Do
Q: “Is my 3- or 4-year-old really ready for martial arts?”
Yes! Our Little Tigers program is built specifically for preschoolers. Classes are fun, focused, and developmentally on point. We teach movement, listening, and social skills in a safe, structured space—perfect for families in Meridian and nearby towns.
Q: “What if my child is shy or nervous to participate?”
That’s totally normal. Many Little Tigers start out shy. Our instructors ease them in gently using encouragement and age-appropriate games. Kids from Boise, Nampa, and surrounding areas usually warm up quickly and start jumping in with confidence.
Q: “Will they be learning real martial arts or just playing games?"
Yes, they’ll be learning martial arts basics—just in a preschool-friendly way. Classes include drills, techniques, and lessons like focus and respect, all delivered through games and fun activities that keep them engaged.
Q: “How long are the classes, and how big are the groups?”
Classes run about 30 minutes—ideal for short attention spans. Group sizes stay small so our instructors can give focused attention, whether your family is from Caldwell, Kuna, or right here in Meridian.
Q: “What can martial arts do for my child at this age?”
A lot! Students in our program develop confidence, discipline, and focus—skills that often improve behavior, academics, and resilience. Families from Meridian, Boise, and beyond say they notice changes after just a few classes.
Q: “Is this program good for active or high-energy kids?”
Absolutely. Our classes are structured to channel that energy in a positive way. We help kids stay engaged, burn off steam, and learn how to focus—all while having fun and making progress.
Q: “My child’s never done martial arts before—will they be behind?”
Not at all. Most students start with zero experience. We group kids by age and skill level, so beginners feel comfortable, challenged, and supported from day one.
Q: “Will my child be learning real self-defense?”
Yes! Kids in our Meridian martial arts program learn practical self-defense that builds awareness and confidence. We teach them how to protect themselves while reinforcing respect and responsibility.
Q: “ Am I too old or out of shape to start?”
Not at all. We train adults of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're starting fresh or returning after a break, you’ll progress at your own pace in a supportive, encouraging environment.
Q: “What kind of workout can I expect?”
Expect a full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, and endurance. Our Meridian Tae Kwon Do classes are dynamic and structured, giving you real results—physically and mentally.
Q: “Do I need prior martial arts experience?”
Nope. Most adults who join our program are complete beginners. Our instructors break everything down clearly so you always know what you’re doing and why.
Q: “Is this just for self-defense, or is it more than that?”
It’s both. You’ll learn effective self-defense while also building confidence, focus, and resilience. Students from Boise, Nampa, and Caldwell say it’s the best thing they’ve done for personal growth.
Q: “Can parents & kids really train together in the same class?"
Yes! That’s what makes our Family Martial Arts classes so unique. Parents and kids train side-by-side in a supportive, structured environment that builds shared goals, discipline, and lasting memories.
Q: “What if we’re all at different fitness or skill levels?”
No problem at all. Our instructors are great at meeting each student where they are—whether it’s your first class or your hundredth. Families from Meridian, Boise, and Kuna train together and thrive at their own pace.
Q: “Is this more of a workout or a bonding experience?”
It’s both! You’ll break a sweat and learn real skills, but you’ll also build connection and teamwork as a family. Many parents tell us it’s their favorite way to spend time together.
Q: “What ages can participate in Family Martial Arts?”
Typically, kids ages 6 and up can train with their parents in our family classes. Younger children can start in our Little Tigers program, while the rest of the family trains together in our main class.
