Our mission at Discovery Tae Kwon Do is not only teaching children how to defend themselves, if needed, in an appropriate manner, but to instill in them respect, honesty, perserverance, discipline and self-confidence, all of which enable a child to develop an indomitable spirit. We have designed our martial arts public school program to serve the community in a way that has not previously been made available to children in our area.
In the public school system, we have found that our one-hour/once-a-week martial arts program greatly benefits young people in the areas of academic focus, self-confidence, respect for authority and the ability to defend oneself if necessary and in an appropriate manner.
Our instructional staff is comprised of highly-qualified adult Black Belts. Our depth of martial arts teaching experience, combined with the fact that most of our instructional staff have children of their own in local area schools, provides a firm foundation for a good, sound martial arts program. For adults, our mission is very basic. We teach adults the Art of Self Defense which consists of both mind and body. A system that has been practiced for hundrens of years and has been proven many times over. We aren't influenced by fads or sport fighting. We train for the street, and not for the ring or cage. We train to defend ourselves only when necessary. We strive to perfect technique, which is the essence of true Martial Arts. | | | | | | | | | |
