Black Belt Taekwondo Benefits and Values

Physical Fitness

Each lesson starts with a series of warm up exercises to prepare both the mind and body. Physical fitness is stressed throughout the students’ training. Exercises are basic, so that each student may continue their physical fitness program at home when they are not attending class.

Self-Confidence

Each student is treated as an individual. If they need additional help with a certain move, the proper technique is shown. It is taught in class and in private sessions with the instructor.

Each student will gain self-confidence as they train, not only in Martial Arts, but also in all aspects of life.

Focus

As the student progresses in the martial arts, focus becomes sharpened. Focus is one of the key ingredients in progressing to the Black Belt level. As a side benefit, that focus becomes a part of their everyday lives.

Determination

One of the things that we teach is “Goals we set are goals we get”. Students are determined to reach that next belt level. They are told how it is done, and then we help them achieve it.

It is student’s determination; however, that gets them there.

Motivation

Black Belt Taekwondo provides a motivation and discipline program for all of our students. Different types of motivational lessons are provided during students’ training.

 The Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do

• Courtesy

  Be polite to each other.  Encourage a sense of justice.  Respect      your instructor and help junior students.

• Integrity     

  To know right from wrong and possess the character to act properly.

• Perseverance     

  To set a goal, e.g. higher rank and technique perfection, and work towards      its achievement.

• Self Control     

  Important both inside and outside the Dojang, whether sparring or in one’s      personal affairs.

• Indomitable Spirit     

  To have the courage to uphold your principles against overwhelming      opposition.

We will also help you achieve self discipline, high self esteem, a positive outlook, a spirit of constant improvement, and an attitude that refuses to give up. These values and life skills will lead to remarkable improvements in academics, careers, and relationships, literally making a better community one black belt at a time.
