What Makes Us Different? Tradtional TaeKwonDo vs. Sport Martial Arts
There are a lot of martial arts gyms in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Some of our students have been with us for 20 years. Grand Master Jim is teaching the children of some of the students who once started out in his kids classes so long ago!!! What seperates us from the rest is our focus on traditional martial arts instead of the sport/competitive aspect. Self-defense against multiple attackers, weapons training and working on being a better person not the middle weight champion set us apart. Our childrens classes work on self-control & self-discipline while keeping fit & having fun. The character-building traits of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control & indomitable spirit are taught along with the martial arts. Sport/competetive martial arts focus on achieving trophies which eventually gather dust. The sport oriented martial arts don't have a lot to offer older students who aren't looking for competition. Traditional TaeKwonDo focuses on self-discipline & self-control. Children will notice improved concentration & discipline. Adults will benefit from the excercise & practical self-defense technique. These character traits last forever
The adult classes not only provide a great work-out and increase flexibility but also teach realistic self-defense utilizing punches, kicks, elbows & knees. Groundfighting or grappling along with the joint-lock techniques of HapKiDo give the students the ability to defend themselves from any position. Weapons training is a part of the students curiculum to round-out the martial arts knowledge of the student. We do not mix the childrens & adult classes because we don't want to water-down the technique to make it safer for the children. Tuition is always month-to-month rather than forcing students to sign contracts.
Children's classes are geared toward enhancing self-discipline and self-control. The classes start with stretching and exercise in the form of games. The second part of the classes focuses on the kicking, punching and memorization needed for achieving the belt ranks. Adult classes focus on strengthening your body, discipling yourself as well as working on flexibility. The first half of the class is stretching & calisthenics (push-ups, sit-ups etc...) as well as working on the correct form for basic kicks & punches. The rest of the class focuses on the technique required for the students rank. Red River Traditional TaeKwonDo Class Schedules
