What Makes Us Different?
Tradtional TaeKwonDo vs. Sport Martial Arts
There are a lot of martial arts gyms in the Fargo-Moorhead
area. Some of our students have been with us for 20 years. Grand Master Jim is teaching the children of some of the students who once started out in his kids classes so long ago!!! What seperates us from the rest is our focus on traditional martial
arts instead
of the sport/competitive aspect. Self-defense against multiple attackers, weapons training and working on being a better person not the middle weight champion set us apart.
Our childrens classes work on self-control & self-discipline
while keeping fit & having fun.
The character-building traits of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control & indomitable
spirit or taught along with the martial arts. Sport/competetive martial
arts focus on achieving trophies which eventually gather dust. The
sport oriented martial arts don't have a lot to offer older students who
aren't looking
for competition. Traditional TaeKwonDo focuses on self-discipline & self-control. Children
will notice improved concentration & discipline. Adults will benefit
from the excercise & practical self-defense technique. These character
traits last forever
The adult classes not only provide a great work-out and increase flexibility but also teach realistic self-defense utilizing punches, kicks, elbows & knees. Groundfighting or grappling along with the joint-lock techniques of HapKiDo give the students the ability to defend themselves from any position. Weapons training is a part of the students curiculum to round-out the martial arts knowledge of the student. We do not mix the childrens & adult classes because we don't want to water-down the technique to make it safer for the children. Tuition is always month-to-month rather than forcing students to sign contracts.
