Pyon Moo Do Kids Curriculum
We didn’t get everything filmed before closing, so there are some missing elements below.
For other material outside of the standard curriculum check out our, Archive of Extra-Curricular Material on the Pyon Moo Do adult curriculum page.
Beginner Program
This is where kids learned the fundamentals. Students would typically spend 6-18 months at this level learning not only the fundamentals of martial arts movement and technique, but also the culture of the Dojang and how to learn in that environment.
