Taekwondo for Adults
We train
our students to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in
shape, while others have come to us overweight. Most adults come to us with
limited flexibility. Adults can start at any age, as we have had some adults
who started as late as age 60, and have still earned their black belts. As a
student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone
else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is
expected of you is a willingness to try.
Here
are some benefits you can expect from training in Taekwondo:
Fitness -
The principals of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body.
For power you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the arms and legs. As
you progress in Taekwondo you will learn to coordinate the speed and power,
and develop a concentration to focus all of your body's strength into a
small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the
foot.
Self-Defense
- When the speed and power developed through Taekwondo is used in a
self-defense situation against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker's
body, the results can be incredible. Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize
many of her natural physical strengths, such as the power in the legs, while
learning a method of self-defense efficient against a much larger opponent.
While you learn to defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And
confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
Self-Confidence
- This does not come naturally for many people, but self-confidence can be
developed over a period of time. Through Taekwondo, as you accomplish new
goals, your confidence level increases. Taekwondo instills a sense of
discipline and self-confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your
life. |
