Martial Arts Improves Balance, Focus, and Body Awareness
At Family Force Martial Arts, our Tigers (Ages 4-6) classes teach children that every move they make has a purpose. Through fun, age-appropriate drills, they practice controlling their bodies, improving balance, and sharpening hand-eye coordination—all while staying active and engaged. This helps them gain a better understanding of how their bodies move, reducing unintentional roughness and encouraging calmer, more thoughtful behavior. Parents often notice their child becoming more aware of their surroundings, handling daily tasks with more care, and showing better control at home, school, and during playtime.
Martial Arts Teaches Attention, Listening, and Follow-Through
We understand that keeping the attention of 4 to 6-year-olds can feel like a daily challenge. That’s why our Tigers program at Family Force Martial Arts is carefully designed to hold their interest while building real focus skills. Using short, structured activities and simple goals, kids learn to stay on task, follow directions, and listen closely—skills that carry over into everyday life. Many parents tell us they see improvements not just on the mat, but also at school, during chores, and even at the dinner table. Our classes make focus fun and rewarding, setting the stage for better habits at home and beyond.
Martial Arts Supports Patience, Persistence, and Emotional Growth
For young children, waiting their turn or not getting something right away can be frustrating. In our Tigers (Ages 4-6) classes, we help kids work through those feelings in a positive, supportive environment. Earning belts and stripes teaches them that progress comes with practice, patience, and effort—not instant results. Alongside the physical skills they learn, our classes also give them a healthy outlet to release built-up energy, helping them handle stress and big emotions in safe, constructive ways. Parents love seeing their child develop grit and resilience that helps them bounce back from setbacks, both in the dojo and in everyday life.
Martial Arts Nurtures Kindness, Respect, and Positive Attitudes
For young kids, handling disappointment can be tough—but it’s an important skill for life. In our Tigers classes, we help children learn how to handle wins and losses with respect, kindness, and a positive attitude. Even though martial arts is an individual sport, our classes emphasize cheering for teammates, encouraging peers, and showing respect both when things go their way and when they don’t. By learning to support others, your child will build empathy, patience, and the confidence to keep trying, even when challenges arise. These lessons create strong, respectful young learners who understand that how they treat others matters just as much as what they accomplish.

Family Force Martial Arts of Jefferson City is the place to go if you want to get yourself or child into martial arts. It’s a joy to watch Chief Master Edwards work with his class. You can tell he truly cares for the students and lives for Taekwondo. I love that they incorporate the parents into some of the training as it makes the class even more fun for the kids. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Family Force Martial Arts for our son.
I highly recommend Family Force. They provide a wonderful program for our 3 kids and a positive environment for all students. The structure and life skills are great tools as well.
Good place and good instructor...
Very dedicated people .with alot of patience for the children.
Family Force is an incredible environment for our family to learn and master Taekwondo. Senior Master Edwards, Ms. Suzanne and the staff are amazing and put the students first above anything else! We are so lucky to have the opportunity to learn Martial Arts in such a great place.
Child started taking classes. They are very good and attentive to all children. It was such a good experience we decided to continue classes. Its not expensive but not cheap either. But seeing how much it helps the child... totally worth it. Teachers are very hands on. Would totally recommend... expecially for child with anger issues.
I highly recommend. My only regret is not signing my son up sooner. Everyone is amazing, excellent with kids, clean, organized, and personable. My son has learned so much in a short period of time. I enjoy watching him grow week by week.
Nothing but great things to say!!! The staff is so helpful and so polite!! They will definitely not leave you behind like most places will !! They also make class such a great time! My biggest regret is not signing up with them a while back ago.
Good training for all members of a family
