Martial Arts For Teens & Adults...
We train our students to the best of their ability. Some students come to
us in shape, while other have come to us 100 pounds over weight. Most come
to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some
adults who started as late as age 65, and have still earned their black belts.
As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone
else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is expected
of you is a willingness to try. Here are some benefits you can expect from
training in Taekwondo.
Fitness
The principals of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body.
For power you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed
of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs.
As you progress in Taekwondo you will learn to coordinate this speed and power,
and develop a concentration to focus all of your body's strength into a small,
hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.
Self defense
When the speed and power developed through Taekwondo is used in a self defense
situation against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker's body, the result
can be incredible. Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural
physical strengths, such as power in the legs, while learning a method of self-defense
efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself,
your confidence will grow. And confidence alone is usually enough to deter
potential attackers.
Self confidence
This does not come naturally for many people, but self confidence can be developed
over a period of time. Through Taekwondo, as you accomplish new goals, your
confidence level increases. Taekwondo instills a sense of discipline and self
confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your life.
