FEMALE CLASSES CRITERIA

FEMALE TRAINING AROUND THE WORLD
To begin with, we all want good health, perfect body and a position to defend ourselves, family and friends, don't we? Of course we all want that! putting that in mind, then Taekwondo has no age limit, gender or religious restrictions-Of course if you don't cross the religious expectations.

Female Taekwondo Training has been existing for ages and women all over the world have been seen taking part in various Taekwondo activities such as tournaments and demonstrations. But now a threatening myths and misconceptions for the Muslim female practicing Taekwondo has hit the headlines for decades now. 
BUT, thankfully all these mysteries have been solved as Taekwondo evolved across the world as Taekwondo became international Sport. Hence, the sport has been modified to make sure it meets all the rules and regulations to make sure no limitations which-soever. 
OUR VIEW AND MODIFICATION FOR FEMALE TAEKWONDO TRAINING
Considering the various people practicing Taekwondo all over Kenya, Kenya Taekwondo Association Conforms to International Taekwondo Federationa ITF and World Taekwondo Federation WTF. This means the rules and regulations governing Taekwondo around the country must accommodate all types of people regardless gender, age and Traditional believes as Taekwondo is more than just a mere sport.
Due to this, Our Foundation, GLOBAL TAEKWONDO FOUNDATION has been established to meet and support the Muslim Umma in understanding and appreciating the need for a good health and security regardless gender or age.
Due to this, we have put various criteria in place to promote female Taekwondo Training in Kenya without bridging the religious expectations and making sure the HIJJAB is not left out.

OUR FEMALE TAEKWONDO UNIFORMS 

COMPLETE UNIFORM

We are ensuring our female uniforms comply with our Islamic Teachings and does not expose of our ladies. 
we made some amendments and modifications to ensure the observation of HIJJAB by our ladies.
So, our female students are expected to buy  the following extra clothing to observe hijjab.
we don't sell the extra clothing for now but In Shaa Allah we will avail them when our female classes become fully functional.
NOTE, The extra clothing must comply according to our expectation and standard set and not just putting on any other piece of clothing. 

THE SCUFF

We expect our female students to put on scuffs that cover their whole head and make sure their hair are not exposed.
the kind of scuff to put on is shown below and must not be any other scuff.

The scuff is designed to hold in place without using pins or any other thing. It is also elastic to make sure its flexible and holds the hair firm.
The color of the scuff does not matter and any of the below scuffs is required. 

CHILDREN TRAINING

We train children from the age of 5 years to 12 years. Training children is very important since a child's mind is fresh and grasps everything a child is taught. 
Our Foundation has special program for the kids that help them receive Taekwondo training. 
We give children necessary stuff and lessons and their program is seperate from the adults.  
We give children;
  1. Self-defense lessons
  2. Lessons on Discipline (Taekwondo is all about discipline)
  3. Physical fitness with ABCD and 123 coverage
  4. Involve them with scientific puzzles and questions to help boost their brain.
  5. And many more...

IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING CHILDREN

  • Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness are good for children's and young people's brain development and function as well as their intellect
  • A session of physical activity before, during, and after school boosts academic prowess
  • A single session of moderately energetic physical activity has immediate positive effects on brain function, intellect, and academic performance
  • Mastery of basic movement boosts brain power and academic performance
  • Time taken away from lessons in favour of physical activity does not come at the cost of getting good grades
