The Basic SKILLZ program teaches young kids to be focused and to manage emotional outbursts in a fun, educational setting. Does your 5 or 6-year-old need to learn self-discipline and emotional control?
At times, it can be easy for teachers and parents to overestimate 5 and 6-year-old kids. They’re better at following instructions and paying attention than younger kids, but they still may need some help in controlling themselves and focusing on tasks.

ALEX & MEGHAN KLETTKE
We’re Alex and Meghan Klettke, Owners & Instructors here at Family Strong Sussex.
As martial arts instructors with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.
But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life.
Because martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt.
It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus and respect.
With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body and character.
That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. Through learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness and self-respect.
And of course it’s a ton of FUN!
That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training.
So please have a look below to find out exactly how your kids can benefit from our fun martial arts classes.
Thanks!
NEED HELP IN ANY OF THESE AREAS?
They have trouble focusing and don’t look at you when you speak to them.
They get angry easily and small things may cause them to lose control.
They lack the discipline to follow through on tasks without being reminded.
PARENTING A CHILD IS HARDER THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT
Kids that are 5-6 years old have slightly more control than younger kids, but they still have a lot to learn when it comes to controlling themselves, their bodies, and their emotions. They’re intellectually curious, but they need to learn in a disciplined setting.
Our program gives kids the tools they need to succeed later in life. They learn the importance of self-discipline and control while building on the basic martial arts skills they learned in the Early SKILLZ program.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Basic SKILLZ teaches kids to control their bodies and behavior in a fun, social environment that encourages cooperation and respect. They learn about teamwork, discipline, memory, and balance while practicing coordination and learning key martial arts moves.
PHYSICAL FITNESS AND BALANCE
When they are young, kids may struggle to control their bodies when they’re in motion.
The basic martial arts skills taught in the Skillz program help them build muscle and improve their coordination.
COMPLEX MEMORY SKILLS
At this age, children easily forget strings of more than three commands. They may also be unable to tell their left from their right.
Our program teaches them to focus on complex instructions and to know how to follow left and right commands without hesitation.
STAY IN CONTROL
Five and six-year-old kids tend to lose focus when they’re excited – and to shut down when they’re sad or scared.
In our Basic SKILLZ program, they are taught to maintain control even when they are excited – and to stay focused even when it is difficult to do so.
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Young kids tend to be competitive – and they don’t handle losing very well.
In our program, they learn how to be good competitors, and that includes learning how to accept defeat gracefully and be supportive of their peers.

Family Strong is more than just learning Taekwando for my kids. They are learning discipline, how to be polite and confidence. Meg and Alex welcome every family as if it is their own and always put the health and wellness of the kiddos first. I have never met two more genuine people who truly put others first and flex even in the hardest situations to ensure only the best care is delivered to everyone who walks in their door. I highly recommend a visit and a class, they have something for everyone from tots to grownups.
Family Strong has changed our family for the best!

I am a father of four (4) girls and very overly protected of their lives. When my daughter, Emily wanted to tryout Tae Kwan Do, I was quite a bit skeptic as she didn't have much confidence, drive, or physical skills to do martial arts, so when we came to Family Strong Sussex, I was even more skeptical as to what they can do to help my daughter Emily. After two years attending Family Strong Sussex, Alex and Meg Klettke, have not only help Emily's self esteem, and strength, but also provided a truly family atmosphere with all the members. I don't think if we didn't come to Family Strong Sussex,, Emily and now our eldest daughter Grace would have the success and self esteem as what they have today, as they have seen that they can conquer everything that comes their way and know that even failure can only strengthen your core! I am so blessed to have gotten to know Alex and Meg, and their two sons, as they have not only help my daughters but also help me with my PTSD, as they are not just my daughter's instructors, but also a friends and for the most part like family to us! If you or someone you know/love has trouble with their self esteem, has physical limitations, and/or just want to try out martial arts in general, I highly recommend contact Alex & Meg at Family Strong Sussex as your choice going with them would be the best & right choice! They are fair, honest, loyal, and very caring! Doesn't matter who you are, when you walk into those doors, you are "Family"!!!!

We absolutely LOVE coming to Family Strong Sussex! As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted by smiling faces and a PILSUNG! You aren't made to feel like just another customer...you are family here. ? We have tried other martial arts studios before and they just never felt like a good fit for us. We always felt like just another number in the door. However, that is not the case when you come to Family Strong Sussex. We have been here for over a year now and have seen amazing changes in our child as well as the many others that attend. Our child has more confidence, courage, better listening skills, better focus and so much more because of Mr. and Mrs. Klettke. We truly can't say enough good things about the Klettke family and we are so happy we took another chance with Tae Kwon Do. They are truly amazing!

Family Strong Sussex maintains a structured, organized, and enjoyable environment for students of all ages to learn Taekwondo. The instructors are knowledgeable and the training is professional. Expectations are clear, class time is well-utilized, and safety is maintained during lessons. All ages and skill levels are accommodated. Performance standards are clear and belts must be earned. My child has been training here since 2018 and loves it. I highly recommend Family Strong Sussex.

My son has been going to Family Strong Sussex for about a year and a half. He loves it! The owners are some of the nicest people. They also work with you and your child if they are in need of extra help to make sure they succeed. Very family oriented.

I highly recommend Family Strong Sussex for many reasons. Family Strong Sussex does not only teach taekwondo, they teach many life skills such as intellectual, social, emotional and physical stages of growth and development. My daughter (7) has been with the Family Strong Sussex family for about a year and a half and has grown so much. They taught her respect, discipline and most importantly confidence. The level of confidence, growth and maturity that she has obtained through Family Strong is amazing. The instructors are not just instructors, they make you feel like family. They are very well organized and are continuously looking out for the best interest of their members. They truly make you feel like you are part of their family. We are proud to be "NinjaStrong"!
