Helping Surrey, BC Kids Trade Screen Time for Martial Arts Confidence at Jong Kim Martial Arts

These days, kids in Surrey, BC spend a lot of time glued to screens — phones, tablets, video games, you name it. As a parent, it’s tough to find activities that not only get your kids moving but also help them build focus, confidence, and discipline.

That’s exactly what we do at Jong Kim Martial Arts - Surrey - Taekwondo. Our Surrey martial arts classes go beyond just physical training. They’re designed to help kids in Surrey Newton grow stronger both mentally and physically, all while having a great time.

Why Screen Time Is a Growing Concern for Families in Surrey

According to ParticipACTION’s 2022 report, only about 28% of Canadian kids aged 5 to 17 meet the recommended limit of less than 2 hours of recreational screen time daily¹. Many are spending upwards of 4 hours a day in front of screens, which can impact their ability to focus, sleep, and even their emotional development².

We understand these challenges and want to provide a healthy, engaging alternative for Surrey families.
