SAMARI SAM

The Tae Kwon Do Centres of Excellence has just launched a new programme designed especially for 4 to 9 year old children. Instructor Mrs Ann Lambert, 3rd Degree Black Belt explained that for many years children have had to cope with a very diverse and challenging grading syllalbus and yet meet exactly the same grading criteria as an adult has to pass.

The new Samari Sam programme is designed to test the children without them feeling out of their depth. The new structure concentrates on fundamental key skills that are presented to them in a more simplified manner. This allows the children to demonstrate their ability and style in a more relaxed atmosphere without compromising quality and standards.

The programme is comprehensive and rewarding for the student who if successful will receive a belt and certificate from IMA. The new Samari Sam uniform (Dobok) is fun to wear for the children with its bright red flashes and animated Samari Sam log, and yet is consistent with the uniform of the club. The suit worn by the children are unique and separate them from the IMA Senior Students, giving them a feeling ownership within the group.

The main objective of the new programme is o help the student build a strong character and promote self-confidence. Young children often suffer in their early years with lack of confidence and social skills, sometimes as a result of bullying. Once the initial warm-up has been completed, the classes are divided into groups, giving the student the benefit of one-to-one training with a dedicated instructor.
