TIPS FOR NEWS STUDENTS

important to tie the belt correctly, this video
shows two different ways to wear the belt in
Taekwondo.

How to Choose a Martial Arts School

At Family Taekwondo School, we have a proven age appropriate curriculum that has won
many national awards in the Martial Arts community, as well as awards for partnership in
education.
Learning TaeKwonDo is fun and exciting here at F.T.S 's. Our students are challenged in every
class to set goals and accomplish them through ACTION! It’s the daily habits that we help
build for our children that determine their personal success in life. At Family Taekwondo
School's, we believe in a fundamental psychology and philosophy of why children should
learn TaeKwonDo...

Self Control:
the ability to make proper decisions and have total
control over your mind & body
Self Discipline:
being able to set a goal and accomplish it by decisive
actions without being reminded
Self Confidence:
to stand up for what you believe in and to have the
courage to be a Black Belt Leader.

These are the true aspects of character in which we
develop "Black Belt Leaders" amongst our children.

Martial Arts can be a very healthy and exciting addition to your life but be sure to
choose wisely. When selecting a martial arts school for yourself it is very
important to find a place that you will meet your needs. Choosing to become
active in martial arts means knowing you know "the package" that comes with it
along with the responsibilities; starting martial arts means, more than anything,
respect for others and for yourself. Many academies offer many different styles.
Some may focus primarily on self defense and competition while others focus
more on personal development and character building. Be sure to know what you
hope to gain from your experience and don't be afraid to try out several schools
before choosing one.

TAEKWONDO
The Number One Way to Combat Bullying

As parents, we do everything we can to protect our children from
harm and to provide them with the skills they need to be healthy,
successful adults. The problem is, we are not with them all the time.
What our kids do at school is sometimes a mystery to us. Are they
polite to their teachers? Do they participate in class? Are they bullying
other kids? Are they being bullied?
There is something you can do to help get them on track to be
successful in school and to avoid the bully-trap - even when you're not
around: Enroll them in a martial arts class.

One of the biggest misconceptions about enrolling children and
teenagers in martial arts is that the kids become aggressive and,
therefore, a likely bully. The fact is, however, that Taekwondo do just
the opposite. Bullies often have sense of superiority over others and
their environments and lack impulse control. Often time, bullies don't
know how to manage their anger so they take it out on people they
deem weaker than themselves. Many times, bullies are being, or have
been, bullied at some point in their lives as well. Taekwondo help solve
these problems.

Taekwondo can also help kids who are being bullied. Bullies thrive on
attacking (physically or emotionally) people that they see as weak.
Kids who are bullied often have (generally as a result of the bullying)
low confidence levels, inability to concentrate on school work, lack of
focus and high stress levels which make them look even weaker.
Taekwondo help solve these problems too.

The many benefits of Taekwondo for children are a great way to
combat bullying, but as you read on, you'll see that the benefits extend
way past bullying and will help your children succeed in other areas of
their lives as well:
Concentration and Focus. Training Taekwondo is not a mindless
activity. It requires complete concentration and focus at all times
during training. The best part about this needed concentration,
however, is that it carries over into all parts of your children's lives.
You'll notice (and your children's teachers will probably also notice)
that they will be able to focus more on their school work and they
might even have more successful grades.

Confidence and Control. Taekwondo will help your children get in tune
with their minds and bodies. This will help kids better understand
themselves, their actions and their options. They know that they don't
need to lose their temper to handle stressful situations and they'll also
know that they have the ability to physically defend themselves if
needed. All of this knowledge will increase their confidence and over
all demeanor making them appear (and be) stronger individuals and
less likely to be a victim of a bully. It will also help prevent them from
bullying others because they will be more aware of themselves and
those around them.

Stress Reduction. You probably already know that physical exercise is
a great stress reliever for you. Do you also know that it works for your
children as well? Any type of exercise such as jogging or playing sports
can relieve the physical stress that your children feel from daily life -
and it may be more than you'd expect. Training Taekwondo goes one
step further, however. It will also help your children relieve their
emotional stress because martial arts require them to concentrate
their training, not dwell on their problems.
