RTR Taekwon-Do

From Master Ad Dekker, Holland

Do kids really stop doing Taekwondo/Martial Arts or are adults not showing them why it's important?

In most cases, children don't stop doing Taekwondo because they're lazy or distracted.
They stop because they feel not supported.

✅ No follow up work
✅ Korean theory never revised
✅ Missed events because no one checked the announcements
✅ No encouragement after a hard session
✅ Too many choices - videogames over dedication

Instructors are only given a few hours a week to train these kids. They'll have to figure out the rest themselves.

So ask yourself this:

• Have I supported their development outside of class?
•Did I celebrate their efforts - not just their victories?
• Have I reinforced the message that it is important to show up? *I think this is very important!

Children need active parents, not just present parents.

When instructors and families work together, their potential is limitless.
