My 7 year old son has been invited into the leadership program. Is anyone familiar with this? Is it beneficial?|||be careful of a Leadership program for a seven year old it may be a money making scheme for the school. what are they needing a leadership class for a seven year old HE%26#039;S SEVEN.The whole purpose for the martial arts is to build his confidence and teach him to do the right thing and use it only as a means of self-defense he will become a leader when he leads by example by his actions and how he represents the martial arts and his instructor. not by some extra class you have to pay for.|||no|||It is most benificial programme. Just send your son there. Wish him best of luck.|||I am a first dan black belt in TKD and I have never heard of the leadership program. Some schools create programs to get children involved or monitor their behavior and respectibility.


There are many people teaching TKD in the U.S. The official world organization is the WTF. World Taekwondo Federation. The headquarters for TKD and the WTF is in Soeul Korea. In Soeul, you will find the Kukkiwon, the headquarters of TKD. If your school is not a member of the WTF and their instructors are not certified in Soeul, then you are wasting your time if you want to learn TKD. There are different styles of martial arts, and most are taught in each country. There are alot of organizatins that teach TKD, but the leader and the most respected is the WTF and schools that follow their programs and credentials. If your instructor has not learned from someone in Korea, or learned from someone who learned from someone who is korean, then they cannot truly teach you the best TKD. Schools that are WTF members have students that are certified through the Kukkiwon when they recieve their blackbelt. People who wear blackbelts that were not obtained this way have not earned them in the correct way.


The school I attended in St. Louis is called World Martial Arts Academy and they are a WTF member. World Martial Arts Academy was created by Grandmaster Y. C. Rho, a ninth degree blackbelt who learned and was certified in Korea. He truly has credentials and leads a good organization of successful Students. Every year in the missouri state championships, most of the winners are from the nine WMAA schools, usually 60-75 percent. The other winners come from the hundreds of schools and organizations in the state. The other schools that learned from americans usually have students that work hard but get beat in sparring because their technique and styles are inferior than the korean style.|||The leader ship program is nothing special.In it he will be taught how to teach,he may get extra training,learn things the other non member students will not.basically,it is just another name for a different taught class.
