Today’s world keeps getting tougher for teens. Here at South Coast CKD, it is our goal to create a safe and encouraging learning environment, where they can learn self-defence, discipline, and confidence without being ridiculed for their mistakes. This sense of identity will boost their confidence, resulting in increased assertiveness when dealing with the high-pressure situations they’re faced with on a daily basis.
Our classes are an excellent way for teens to get involved with peers that share similar goals and standards. By expanding their network with positive influences, they’ll be able to maintain accountability and increase their social skills.
Parenting should not have to be a stressful task you face alone!
Let South Coast CKD Help You Equip Your Teen For Success In The Real World.
Positive Mental Attitude

Respect & Self-Confidence
The teenage years are a critical time in a child’s personal development. It is important for teens to learn the acceptable boundaries for their behaviour so that they can develop the habits they need to become a functional adult. Martial arts teaches teens this kind of self-discipline through the tradition and etiquette of the practice.
Teens will feel a sense of belonging as they learn within an environment that is encouraging and non-judgemental. They will build their confidence through positive reinforcement by their instructors, as they continue to challenge themselves and achieve new goals.
We focus on the personal development aspect of martial arts, not just self-defence moves.
Our instructors are all certified black belts, qualified, and professionally trained to teach martial arts.
Spectators are welcome to all our classes (but it’s more fun to join in)
Social interaction teaches kids how to effectively work as part of a team.

Choi Kwang Do helps improve coordination and is an excellent form of exercise.
Martial arts is an excellent form of exercise. The discipline students learn in their martial arts class will help them stick with their practice as a way to maintain fitness for the rest of their lives.
For many teens, controlling their emotions in social situations is a challenge. Martial arts helps teens improve their self-control by teaching control of the body. This is a vital skill that teens can carry with them into their adult life, helping them to manipulate their thoughts and emotions more effectively.
The traditional nature of martial arts teaches kids respect in their classes, whether they are taking a bow or waiting patiently for the next set of instructions. The sense of respect also helps kids improve their grades, while improving their listen skills at home and school.
In martial arts classes, all students are treated equally. They will engage with a wide range of opponents, giving them a sense of accomplishment as they find success in a variety of situations
My daughter loves it. They are amazing a team, so encouraging supportive. My daughter uses a wheelchair full time, and this hasn’t stopped her.
Since starting South Coast CKD, my daughter has really developed her confidence as well as her fitness and skills. She loves the classes so much, they are fun, interactive, informative and they really get the best out of each student. I would definitely recommend.

Even though we practice self-defense moves and we do practice some sparring drills, your child will not be “fighting” anyone or getting hurt. Of course there is always potential for injury with any sports activity, however, our instructors take great care to make sure everyone practices at their own pace without getting injured.
No, our classes are a good mix of boys and girls of all fitness levels. Beginners train alongside some of the more experienced kids, helping each other out in a fun team environment.
