One class is designed to captivate the interest of young kids as young as 1st graders, with skills developed through gentle instruction and appropriate games for their ability. Family Taekwondo is for parents with kids at least 7 years old training side by side, with a focus on spending time together while sharing the same goal and being fit in body and mind, expressed in their saying, “The family that kicks together sticks together.”

At the Agbon Martial Arts school, staff host martial arts themed birthday parties for children of all ages from five-year-olds to teenagers, and members or non-members, with or without martial arts experience, can book a party. For these parties, the school handles all the details, and families invite the guests and tell them when to arrive, with supervised fun and no stress and no work for the hosts. The mission of Agbon Martial Arts is described as “Teaching Beyond Kicking and Punching in a SAFE and FUN way...”.
