| | Teens and Adults We not only view Taekwondo as a system of self-defense, but also as an "individual sport", meaning we train each student to the best of his or her own ability. Some adults come to us to begin an exercise regimen to lose weight, while others are already in shape and want to try a new sport. All that is expected from our students is the willingness to try! Students will improve their fitness level, learn to defend themselves, and build Self-Confidence from our classes, all the while making new, life-long friends. At the beginning of each class our Teens and Adults recite the Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo, which begins as follows: "Sir/Ma'am, I shall practice in the spirit of Taekwondo; with courtesy for fellow students, loyalty for my instructors and respect for my juniors and seniors, Sir/Ma'am!" and each class ends with: "Sir/Ma'am, I shall live with the perseverance in the spirit of Taekwondo; having honor for others, integrity within myself, and self-control in my actions, Sir/Ma'am!" | |
