Children & Choi Kwang Do

Choi Kwang Do is a holistic health system. Every student within Choi Kwang Do Martial Art International is focused on living a more productive, healthier and longer life. Because of this, we tailor an individual’s training to meet their own personal needs and promote better health in their life. Individuals may train at any age and enjoy the benefits of fitness and longevity. Choi Kwang Do improves students’ Emotional Quotient (EQ) by teaching inner strength, leadership skills, good manners, self respect and esteem for others. Children at Choi Kwang Do learn to encourage others to grow, to support each other, to be patient, to share , to behave with decorum and to compassionately relate with, rather than compete with each other.

We systematically train both sides of the body evenly, in coordination with the eyes, which allows students to stimulate and develop their brain as well as their muscles.

The removal of harsh lookout movements helps children’s young bones becomes strong and healthy at the crucial time when their bone density is being formed.

Senior Age Students and Choi Kwang Do

Choi Kwang Do is an ideal form of exercise for middle aged and more elderly individuals, and its an ideal activity for retirement. Anyone can enjoy the benefits of training, and even teaching, at a CKD school. Many Choi Kwang Do schools have instructors who are over 70 – and many students are even older!

Extensive research has shown that good lifestyle habits and exercise are critical to reducing the aging process. The choices you make daily can either speed up or slow down your aging process.

Because Choi Kwang Do’s concept is based on individual physical condition, ability and skill level, people can train regardless of age, physical limitations or disabilities. Techniques are based on biomechanical principles – sudden jerky movements are not used. No matter your age, its never too late for your body to respond to CKD training.
