Oriental Sports Center - Elizabeth City

No other school in Elizabeth City offers this exclusive program like Oriental Sports Center. Students learn discipline, respect, motor skills, interacting with other children, awareness of predators on the street and much more. Many doctors have promoted martial arts training because of the positive outlet it gives children to release their energy. Currently, we are holding two 35-minute Cobra Kid

s classes, which meet twice a week. Taekwon-Do For Kids

A psychological study found that children in martial arts have an increased sense of responsibility, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks, and a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents are using martial arts to supplement their children's education. The belt system is the key to building self-esteem. When kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves. We have a trained staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school. Adult Program

Taekwon-Do is a fun, fulfilling workout for adults. Our adult students really appreciate the differences between martial arts training and standard exercise programs. Our workouts are a great way to get in shape. Taekwon-do classes are well-known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard health club-type exercise programs. What we teach you could save your life. The confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate most. Nothing can take the place of security in knowing that you can defend yourself if need be.
