What is Taekwon-Do Kubz?

Taekwon-Do Kubz is a fun and gentle introduction to martial arts for children aged 4 to 6 years. The programme helps young tamariki learn through simple movements, games, and teamwork.

Created by Master Mark Hutton and brought to New Zealand through International Taekwon-Do, the Kubz programme mixes basic martial arts skills with important life lessons like safety, listening, confidence, and self-control. Each class is designed to help children move, focus, and interact with others in a positive way.

Kubz also supports the connection between home, school, and the dojang, helping children learn helpful habits such as respect, kindness, sharing, and trying their best. These skills support them in everyday life.

As children grow, Kubz gives them a smooth and comfortable step into our older kids’ classes. If you want to see what training looks like as they move up, you can visit What Will I Do in Taekwon-Do? and For Whom Is Taekwon-Do?.

Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu — Adorn the bird with feathers and it will fly.

Together, we give our Kubz the feathers they need to soar.

What Parents Like About Taekwon-Do Kubz?

1. Confidence grows a little more each week

Children build confidence through small wins. When they follow instructions, try a new movement, or remember a simple routine, they feel proud of themselves. Many parents notice improved confidence at home and school.

2. Helpful behaviour and social skills

Through group activities and simple team games, children learn to take turns, cooperate, listen, and show respect. These habits help them communicate better with others.

3. Better balance, coordination, and movement

Kubz helps children develop balance, coordination, and control through active play. The movements are simple and fun, making it easy for young tamariki to stay engaged and enjoy learning.

4. A safe and friendly environment

Parents and caregivers are an important part of the journey. We encourage families to watch, support, and celebrate progress. Our goal is to create a space where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy.

If you’d like your child to try a session, we offer a Free Trial Class so you can see what Kubz is like.
