With the drive for healthy lifestyles and the battle
against Obesity Jakeun Bal have committed themselves to bring the sport
of Taekwondo to East Lancashire’s schools, either in or out of normal
class times. We would not be able to do this without the support of Local
companies and national grants.
This Grant funding has helped us run projects on community
integration, offer after school clubs and summer schools for children
through Burnley and Pendle.
Since 2002 Jakeun Bal Taekwondo has been working closely
with Junior schools to develop a program that will satisfy the requirements
of the national curriculum at Key Stage two. This curriculum develops
the child's balance, coordination and sequencing that can be used is all
sports.
In
2004 Jakeun Bal Taekwondo started delivering Taekwondo to Secondary School
children as a dinner time or after school work-out program. After getting
to grips with the basic kicks the class then changes into an aerobic based
class.
It is hoped that from the martial art of Taekwondo the children will gain
in self control and self esteem.
We also offer
free Taekwondo taster classes to any children and youth
organisations in East Lancashire, so do get in touch.
