TESTIMONIES FROM STUDENT PARENTS
Winston Tang
I originally started my Martial Arts training to support
my daughter, Lauren, in her Taekwondo classes and also to
learn self defense techniques. What started as a 3 month
experiment became an incredible 3 year journey that has
led to many rewards including physical fitness, increased
self-awareness, and new friendships.
I have also found that Taekwondo training has increased
my physical strength and endurance and has improved my overall
concentration. Training with my daughter has allowed us
to build a stronger relationship and has also taught me
to be a better student, teacher, and parent.
Van Petheriotis
As a young child I always wanted to join Taekwondo but I
was involved in other sports and I didn't have the time
to learn Taekwondo. Thirty years later, I find that while
I still don't have the time, I have a reason - my daughter
Alli.
Martial arts has enhanced my life in some significant ways.
It's improved my mental focus and physical abilities. It
has also brought something into my life that I can share
and participate in with my daughter.
NEW MANDATORY SAFETY GEAR
Face Shields are now required safety gear.
As instructors, we feel that your child's safety is of the
utmost importance. We believe that this new piece of safety
gear will give our students extra confidence when they spar.
If your child does not yet have a face shield, please talk
to your instructor.
HOW TO BE A BLACK BELT PARENT!
Our Staff of Instructors are committed to increase your
child's level of concentration and confidence. It is not
necessary that parents watch all classes. The child must
learn to concentrate, which is sometimes difficult when
parents are in the room.
Safety and Audience Viewing
- Refrain from interacting with the students and/or instructors
during class. This is both distracting to the instructor
and dangerous for the students.
- For liability reasons, Parents and Spectators are not
allowed to give any instruction to students during classes.
- Please keep small children quiet and still during classes.
- Due to health and safety concerns we ask that PETS not
be brought into the Academies.
Thanks!
BELIEF - THE POWER TO REACH BLACK BELT
Parents, help your children by showing how much you believe
in them. We all know that in order to succeed in life, we
must first figure out what we want to accomplish. For students,
that is the realization that they can make it to Black Belt
with the guidance of our insturctors. After they set this
DESIRE as a goal, it is important for everyone involved
to demonstrate how much we believe in their decision.
Many of us have accomplished far more than we ever imagined
just because of a parent, friend or coach who said they
BELIEVED in us! Lets do the same thing for your children.
It is easy to point out to them where they didn't look 'good',
but it is a whole other story complimenting them on all
the 'right' things they did. This is one of the key concepts
of our teaching approach.
Please help reinforce this teaching principle by helping
your child focus on all the positives they accomplished
in a class or graduation.
