A free and active summer week for children who have not trained in Taekwon-Do before.
Over five days, participants spend three hours each day training, playing and building confidence. The purpose is to give children a safe summer activity with no course fee – and a positive first experience of ITF Taekwon-Do.

Content and teaching
Taekwon-Do, play and values in practice.
Training is varied and designed for beginners. The discipline of martial arts is balanced with plenty of play, humour and room to try without pressure.
01
Techniques and challenges
Children learn fundamental Taekwon-Do techniques and get to try breaking and special technique with jumping and flying kicks.
02
Self-defence and teamwork
Self-defence, partner exercises and games are used to develop confidence, respect, communication and teamwork.
03
A theme for every day
Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit each provide a daily theme and are connected directly to the activities.
Inside the week
A week in motion.
The photographs show how technique training, self-defence, play and challenges alternate throughout the week. The aim is not perfection, but taking part, trying and experiencing progress.

Development
A project that was allowed to grow.
What began as a new free summer initiative in 2025 has developed through experience, better equipment and more people supporting the children.
2025
A successful beginning
The first course showed that the combination of Taekwon-Do, play and clear values connected with the children. Participation and experience made continuing the project a natural next step.

Support, equipment and young assistants
A grant from the Gjensidige Foundation made it possible to invest in more equipment and involve young assistants. They received training in teaching and working with children before the course.
A free summer programme with room for progress, play and new connections.
