They are confident they are learning to defend themselves and this quiet confidence filters through to all phases of their life including home, office and school. Furthermore, as students progress in the martial arts, they gain a greater respect for themselves, others and life.

HOW WOULD TAEKWONDO BENEFIT YOU?
Taekwondo stresses a balanced approach to life consisting of three main elements:
1 - Taekwondo training.
2 - Family and social responsibility.
3 - Responsibility toward one's education or work.
Health and Fitness:
Learn to recharge your body with exciting energy. Flush your system clean of internal poisons that breed illness. Massage and stimulate your body. Create bodies that are sleek, firm and graceful. Age is no barrier - start at any time of your life.
Physically:
Taekwondo develops co-ordination, motor skills, agility, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance, balance, posture, cardiovascular fitness, aerobic fitness and anaerobic fitness. Due to its physical nature, taekwondo training promotes a healthy lifestyle including proper physical training, proper nutrition, proper rest and the maintenance of a balance in life.
Morally:
Taekwondo's tenets are etiquette, modesty, perseverance, indomitable spirit and self-control. Taekwondo promotes good character and a non-violent attitude by teaching courtesy, humility, integrity, respect for others, self reliance, courage and self-control under stress. In response to conflict, taekwondo teaches calmness, avoidance and neutralisation. It features a non-confrontational and controlled approach to aggression through the teaching of self-control, self-confidence and violence-as-a-last-resort response to conflict. Students must respect fellow students and obey instructors. Taekwondo demands patience, perseverance and a striving for perfection.
Psychologically:
Taekwondo reduces tension and anxiety by providing a socially acceptable means of physical self-expression, controlling aggression and venting hostility and frustration in a healthy, beneficial manner. It requires self-respect, complete self-control and respect for others, whether training partner or adversary. It also provides a means of personal achievement and advancement through mastery of its curriculum, testing and progression through its belt levels. Dedication to attaining a goal and successful goal attainment improve one's self image and sense of self worth.
Aesthetically:
Taekwondo involves skills and techniques to be mastered, with some latitude for personal style and self-expression. It develops a set of core techniques, which the taekwondo student can master and also emphasise those most natural to and effective for each individual. Rhythm, timing, balance, proper form and proper breathing are all essential to correct technical execution. Mentally, taekwondo practitioners have to master focused concentration and detachment from external distractions. There is beauty and grace in the practice of taekwondo movements and techniques and great satisfaction in mastering and controlling one's mind and body in the execution of demanding physical exercise.
The Personal Experience:
Taekwondo training is also an educational and a personally broadening experience. Students learn much about themselves, their abilities and how to go beyond what they thought were their physical and mental limitations to new levels of excellence. Students come into contact with people of different origins, of different ages and from different socio-economic, ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds, which is an important learning experience in the changing and multicultural mosaic of most nations. They learn to train together and relate to each other through the medium of taekwondo.
Adults
Adults start at any age. Some adults within the association who started at age 65 have still earned their black belt. As a student you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of your way. All that is expected is a willingness to try.
