FROM A PARENT✨
One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to do Tae Kwon do?" Well I have a confession to make, I don't pay for my kids Tae Kwon do. Personally, I couldn't care less about Taekwon-do.
So if I am not paying for Taekwon-do what am I paying for?
💥I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't.
💥I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go their clubs but go anyway.
💥I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined.
💥I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body.
💥I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates.
💥I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that belt they'd hoped for, but still have to work hard in the grading.
💥I pay for my kids learn to make and accomplish goals.
💥I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a black belt, and that success does not happen over night.
💥I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships.
💥I pay so that my kids can be on the mats instead of in front of a screen...
I could go on but to be short, I don't pay for Taekwon-do, I pay for the opportunities that Taekwon-do provides my kids to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!

Why leg kicks? Is that really effective for self defense training? How useful is that in a fight really?

We train leg kicks pretty regularly as a part of our curriculum. We understand that some people will look at this weird. The popular opinion is "No one can be knocked out by leg kicks. How is this supposed to save my life or get me out of harms way in a fight or against a bully."

We argue that leg kicks are an easy way to incapacitate an assailant, a bully, or anyone offering unwanted contact. It doesn't take a lot of physical prowess to master this skill and, as shown in evidence by the video, and especially against a person who doesn't know how to defend, the philosophy is to destabilize the base. If they can't put weight on their leg, they can't throw powerful punches or strikes and more importantly they can't chase you when you try to get away.

These lessons and more, every Saturday. Adults and children welcome!!

Train hard my friends

Teachers of life come from all places and times. Martial arts is so important because every lesson learned in martial arts can be applied to every day life

Patience. Respect. Discipline. Adversity Resistance. Resilience. Perseverance. Acceptance. Be Adaptable.

I love the philosophies of Bruce Lee. If you've never read his books; Tao of Jeet Kune Do or Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's Wisdom for Daily Living, you're robbing yourself of an amazing spiritual experience.

Have a great day and keep on training my friends.
