All students will start with this belt as they are introduced to the Korean martial arts. The basics will be taught from punching, blocking and kicking. Fundamental principles to the Miami Tae Kwon Do school will be taught as well. The importance of respect and self-discipline will be taught through the rankings.

The curriculum that a student will learn at the white belt level will be the fundamentals for the higher rankings. Importance of getting the basics down cannot be stressed enough, as the fundamentals will be emphasized at all belt rankings. The next belt ranking is the gold belt when the students’ starts moving forward with more advanced Miami Tae Kwon Do techniques to learn. The belt rankings will gradually increase with time and technique learned. As the belt rankings progress, the curriculum will become more and more complex.  The closer a student is to becoming a black belt, the slower that the progress is due to the difficulty.

In the beginning rankings, limited physically ability is acceptable due to performing basic techniques.

Students at Better Families are taught how to defend themselves using Tae Kwon Do along with communication skills to avoid a bad situation. The best way to defend you is to avoid the conflict in the first place. This has to be done respectfully and delicately without any physicality.  The younger students at Better Families are taught to yell stranger danger when with a stranger rather than “stop” and “go away”. This is important because children who are upset at their parents can express those two words. These children are also taught how to defend themselves just in case they cannot remove themselves from a rough situation. Being defensive is the key to self-defense in the Miami Tae Kwon Do program. You want to ensure that the attack has to leave his or her comfort zone in order to attack you. The attack should have as little control of the situation as possible. Remove any grip or closeness that the attacker may have towards you.

When you know that you are able to defend yourself, you then have the confidence necessary in order to talk your way out of bad situations.

Kicks in Tae Kwon Do are what stand out from the rest of the other martial arts. The Miami Tae Kwon Do style specializes in kicks, as there are a variety of kicks involved. The fundamentals must be instilled upon a student once he or she has become an apprentice before trying more difficult techniques. Two fundamental Tae Kwon Do kicks that Better Families teaches includes the front kick and round kick.
The front kick is the first kick that is taught at Better Families within the first ranking of white belt. In order to successfully perform a front kick, your body must be positioned correctly.
All kicks in Better Families require you to have your guard up at all times. This is very important in order to show good form as well as being ready for anything defensively. The positioning of a front kick requires you to have your front foot pointed forward so that your leg is creating the correct angle for your kick. You will then lift your knee straight up, then kick up, once the leg is back down keep the knee up for good form before putting the foot back down. The round kick is more complex than the front kick as your back foot must be pivoted away from your body.

The Miami Tae Kwon Do School wants you to learn how to do a front kick before attempting the round kick. The round kick you will have the front of your leg faced forward with your body as your body is turned to the side. The pivot foot in the stance creates balance and stability for when your body is sideways. For the round kick, your toes will be touching the floor as your leg is straight and your knee will bend the leg for a snap kick. Better Families ensures that their students receive the fundamental as Miami Tae Kwon Do martial artists.
