How Taekwondo training enhances your life

• Focus - learning to pay attention to all the details of a martial arts pattern, what each limb is doing at all times, learning to maintain eye contact with a target in order to strike it at the appropriate spot

• Discipline - learning and demonstrating when to speak and when to be quiet, when to kick and punch and when to stand still, when to yell and when not to

• Self-Control - learning to control the anger reaction when someone tags you in sparring, working through that reaction with controlled responses

• Confidence - repeatedly practicing a skill to gain confidence with that skill and experiencing the rewards such as breaking a board or scoring in sparring

• Self-Confidence - understanding that you have nothing to prove to anyone but yourself

• Character Building - training is certainly not limited to their actions inside the school, as we firmly support positive behavior in their daily life

Our goal is to help students gain the tools they need to be successful in life. These tools include confidence, discipline, self-control, self-motivation, respect for others and themselves, courtesy, integrity, and many leadership skills. We equip them not only with these skills, but also with a strong desire to always keep growing in life. There is always more to learn.

Our motto: "Constant and Never-Ending Improvement."
