Lion Kings & Queens

The Best Way to Begin or Continue the Martial Arts Journey (Ages 6–10)

The Lion Kings & Queens program is designed for children ages 6–10 — the golden age for developing athletic foundations and character. Through dynamic, engaging 45-minute classes, our Kukkiwon-certified Masters guide students through the fundamentals of Taekwondo while building the coordination, focus, and discipline that will serve them in every area of life.

Whether your child is a complete beginner or has some martial arts experience, Lion Kings & Queens meets them exactly where they are and takes them further than they imagined.

Taekwondo Fundamentals

Students learn authentic Taekwondo basics — kicks, stances, blocks, and forms — taught with the precision and depth of Kukkiwon-certified Masters.

Coordination & Athletic Foundation

The motor skills built through Taekwondo training directly improve performance in soccer, basketball, gymnastics, and every other sport your child pursues.

Structured Progression

A clear belt system provides visible milestones that motivate students, build confidence, and demonstrate real, measurable progress.

A Welcoming Family for Every Young Lion

Many of our Lion Kings & Queens students began their journey as little ones in our Lion Cubs program — and the bonds they form along the way last a lifetime. At Regulus, every child becomes part of a warm, supportive community where smiles, friendships, and shared achievements are just as important as kicks and forms.

Whether your child is brand new to Taekwondo or has been training since age 3, they are welcomed into a family of fellow young Lions who cheer each other on, train together, and grow together — class by class, belt by belt.

A True Regulus Family

From Lion Cubs to Lion Kings & Queens, students grow up alongside the same friends and instructors — building deep bonds that make every class feel like coming home.

Friendships That Last

Training partners become best friends. The smiles, high-fives, and shared belt celebrations create memories and relationships that extend far beyond the dojang.

A Place to Belong

Every child — regardless of age, experience, or background — is welcomed into the Regulus family. This is the supportive community where your child will be seen, valued, and celebrated.
