The Early SKILLZ program can help them learn appropriate behavior in a fun setting.
Your preschooler is going to LOVE Early SKILLZ! Every class is packed with energy, imagination, movement, and fun – all while building important life and developmental skills. Best of all, your child will feel like they’re playing the whole time while they’re actually learning and growing in incredible ways!
Our program offers 2 classes per week to help little learners build confidence, coordination, focus, listening skills, balance, and body control through exciting activities designed just for preschool-aged children. From kicking, punching, and blocking to hopping, rolling, crawling, running, and catching, every activity is carefully created to help your child grow stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally.
At Family Strong, we believe these early years matter. That’s why our Early SKILLZ classes are designed to help children develop not only athletic ability, but also confidence, discipline, social skills, and independence – all in a positive, encouraging environment they can’t wait to come back to each week.

STRUGGLE WITH ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
They are shy and may have difficulty approaching other kids – or sharing in a play situation.
They don’t pay attention to their surroundings and may end up being unintentionally destructive as a result.
They lack control and can’t stay in one place long enough to eat a meal or watch a movie.
PARENTING CAN FEEL LIKE RUNNING A MARATHON
If you’re the parent of a young child, you know the feeling – endless energy, short attention spans, constant movement, and those moments where simply getting them to sit still for five minutes feels impossible. Group activities can quickly become overwhelming when they aren’t built around how young children actually learn and grow.
That’s where Early SKILLZ is different.
Instead of expecting little ones to learn by sitting quietly, we teach through movement, imagination, encouragement, and play-based learning that keeps kids engaged from start to finish. Every class is carefully designed to match their developmental needs while helping them build focus, listening skills, confidence, coordination, self-control, and respect.
With patient instructors, positive guidance, and exciting activities, children learn foundational martial arts skills while having an absolute blast. Before you know it, they’re following directions, participating confidently in groups, and developing important life skills that carry far beyond the mat.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Early SKILLZ gives young children the basic skills and discipline they need to succeed. While they learn simple martial arts moves such as kicking, punching, blocking, crawling, and jumping, they also grasp valuable lessons about social conduct. Over time, Early SKILLZ students learn how to control their movements, follow directions, and interact with students and teachers.

FOCUS AND ATTENTION SKILLS
Kids learn how to truly listen and respond to instructions the first time they’re given – even when tasks become challenging or distractions are all around them.
Through engaging activities and positive reinforcement, children develop stronger focus, better listening skills, and the ability to stay on task without constant reminders. Over time, they begin building the confidence, attention span, and self-discipline needed to succeed both on the mat and in everyday life.
MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Students learn how to better understand and control their bodies while becoming more aware of the people and space around them. Through fun, structured movement and martial arts-based activities, children develop important skills like balance, coordination, body control, and spatial awareness.
As they practice kicking, blocking, jumping, rolling, and moving with purpose, they gain confidence in how their bodies move and respond. These foundational skills help children improve athletic ability, safety awareness, self-control, and overall physical development in a fun and encouraging environment.
MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING ENCOURAGES PERSEVERANCE
Kids learn that it’s okay to feel frustrated, nervous, or challenged – and, more importantly, how to work through those feelings in healthy and positive ways. Through encouragement, structure, and achievable goals, children begin building emotional confidence, resilience, and the belief that they can overcome hard things.
In Early SKILLZ, students are taught the value of persistence, patience, and trying again even when something feels difficult at first. In a supportive and uplifting environment, they learn to manage big emotions, celebrate progress, and develop the confidence to keep going instead of giving up.
RESPECT IS THE CORNERSTONE OF MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING
Early SKILLZ helps children learn that respect is one of the most important skills they can develop – respect for themselves, their instructors, their classmates, and the world around them.
In every class, students are encouraged to cheer each other on, celebrate one another’s successes, and support their teammates as they learn and grow together. Through positive interactions and structured guidance, children build confidence, kindness, teamwork, and the understanding that a strong community is built by lifting others up.

Family Strong is more than just learning Taekwando for my kids. They are learning discipline, how to be polite and confidence. Team Family Strong welcome every family as if it is their own and always put the health and wellness of the kiddos first. I have never met 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, they 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 Team Family Strong 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 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"!!!!

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"!

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!
