Benefits of Tae Kwon Do & Martial Arts

1. Has appeal of an individual activity rather than team sport. Each person working at his own level in a class of mixed ages & ability levels decreases competitiveness & the intimidation factor. Goals in the form of belts are clearly visible.
2. Much repetition of the same basic movements as virtually all belt levels are practicing & gradually refining those same movements over & over with an emphasis on developing chi & core strength.
3. Kinesthetic awareness & body control are enhanced via development of proprioceptor awareness. The emphasis on repetition & resulting refinement of those joint movements is the basis for physical & subsequent mental control and alas, the Zen meditative experience.
4. Impulse control & a sense of calm is further enhanced by a rich philosophy encompassing the eastern values of:
   1. Empty (calm, peaceful) mind
   2. Patience/self-control/anger management
   3. Humility & respect for others
   4. Goal setting, perseverance and diligence
   5. Cooperative learning & helping one’s peers
5. Mind/Body/Spirit Balance is apparent in increased grounded ness (bare feet), core strength, body control, stamina & muscle strength (break boards) & subsequent increased confidence>
