Why Martial Arts Instruction Will Benefit Your Child
Our program works hand in hand with a child’s schoolwork, providing improved self-discipline, self- confidence, mental alertness, and goal-setting skills. At CP Family Taekwondo Academy young people are taught that through dedicated, intense work, all worthwhile goals in life are possible. Parents have attributed our program with improved grades as a direct result of the increased achievement motivation, self-direction, and self-confidence provided by the program.
Exam Emphasis On Schoolwork
All young people in the program are required to bring copies of their grades from school, complete parent/teacher intent to promote forms, and complete exam qualification forms prior to testing. All of these support our focus on academic excellence as well as contribute to the family and the community. Our instructors work hand-in-hand with school teachers and parents to insure a well-balanced and focused development process for each child.
Goal Setting
It is important for each child to learn to set short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals. At CP Family Taekwondo Academy, every child’s goal is the Black Belt and Beyond. A symbol of excellence in martial arts and an important tool for instructors and parents to use for developing desire, tenacity, and for teaching the importance of follow-through
Proper Use of Skills
It is constantly stressed to all students that Martial Arts skills require them never to be abusive or offensive and are only for use defensively.
