OUR GOALS AND TRAINING METHODS:

It takes a lot of thoughts, efforts and experience to put together a solid Youth Martial Arts program. Due to the nature of martial arts and the physical violence and social attributes, bullying at school attached to them, building a sound and safe True Martial Arts curriculum is actually a complex task. We’d like to believe our martial arts studio has a good perspective on this matter, and a solid curriculum based on sound pedagogical principles.

Our Youth program, while based on the principles of old-style which is meant ‘DISCIPLINE’, also follows some of the modern Taekwondo, Korean martial arts, which approach to training, and is geared towards a healthy and safe development of our youth. One desired outcome is to build physical strength, flexibility, self-confidence and discipline in our children, and to promote courtesy, integrity, perseverance and other social values... Our means and training methods are therefore geared towards this desired outcome. We instructors are very conscious of the fact that we remain students of the arts as much as our beginning students are, so you will see us consistently practicing the basics in class.

Most importantly to us, as we hope it will be to you, TaeKwonDo, our foundation/style of martial arts, which is a way of life. Our hope is that you will become a better person because of your study of martial arts.

This is the holistic benefit of Taekwondo training. We emphasize the learning "Tenets of Tae Kwon Do", in the following: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit. We also adopt the YMCA's emphasis on "Family values", "Building strong families" and “Citizenship”.
