Welcome to
providing lessons in the art of Chang Hun Taekwon-Do to the
Studies have shown
that children in Taekwon-Do have an increased sense
of responsibility, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks and a
higher sense of self-esteem.
Many doctors have
prescribed Taekwon-Do because of the positive outlet
it gives children for all of their energy.
At Oakridge Taekwon-Do we promote good behavior and we expect the same
at home and in school.
For adults, Taekwon-Do is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in
shape.
Taekwon-Do is well-known for its stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind/body training goes far
beyond the benefits of standard health club type exercise programs.
Oakridge Taekwon-Do takes pride in the development of a courteous
and spirited training environment.
What we teach is
not a sport, but a method of using the mind, body and spirit to better
ourselves in our training, as well as our daily life.
Our training
environment is non-competitive, with each student working not only to improve
him or herself, but to help the other students improve as well.
We hope that our
traditional training methods will help to develop practical self-defense
skills, all-around physical fitness and positive character traits in all of our
students.
The ultimate goal of martial arts lies not in victory
or defeat
but in the perfection of the character of its
participants.
Taekwon-Do is a way of
preparing mentally and physically for everyday
stress and the ultimate challenge that we hope will
never confront us.
