What is Taekwondo
it is a Korean martial art and combat sport involving punching and kicking techniques. "Taekwondo" can be translated as tae ("strike with foot"), kwon ("strike with hand"), and do ("the art or way").
The five tenets we abide by are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit
Encourages Non-Violent Conflict Resolution
Thinking that martial arts instruction promotes violent behavior is justified if your only experience with the activity comes from television or movies. In fact, many defensive styles teach kids peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution skills and emphasize the importance of avoiding a physical altercation.
Boosts Socialization Skills
Kids who don't always thrive in highly social environments may find it easier to get to know people and make new friends when they're in a room filled with peers who share a common interest.
Encourages Physical Activity
Enrolling an inactive child in such a physically demanding pastime not only discourages the sedentary lifestyle she's used to, but also gives her an enjoyable activity that inspires her to keep moving.
Learn to Set and Achieve Goals
Most forms of martial arts are based around an accomplishment system of colored belts that signify the wearer's degree of skill. When your child strives toward each new belt, he's learning valuable lessons about setting and reaching his goals.
“I have seen immense growth in my children's self-discipline and confidence since joining Iron Sharpens Iron. To watch as them become proud of themselves and work hard as they meet each goal has been something they needed! Master Hughes is dedicated and passionate about the growth of each student.”
