TAEKWON-DO : ART, SELF-DEFENSE, SPORT, WAY OF LIFE
When practiced consistently, Taekwon-Do produces invaluable physical
and mental improvements. Students develop real and lasting self-confidence. One of the keys to the success of Taekwon-Do is that the exercises are fun, the students see results, and this inspires and challenges students to reach their full potential. Success in a personal development program relies on the student's dedicated efforts which come naturally as they experience noticeable increases in strength, flexibility, memory, coordination, and self defense, all of which build self- esteem and self-confidence. This self-confidence is deep and is not subject to the results of tomorrow's game. It is not reserved for the best players on the team but is available to everyone, because everyone experiences improvement with Taekwon-Do training.
ADULT TAEKWON-DO 
This is not sport karate. Taekwon-Do is a Korean Martial Art of unarmed combat,
utilizing punching and kicking techniques, a combat style very similar to kickboxing.
Taekwon-Do training will get you in shape and develop strong self-defense skills. Mr.
Cross is a professional instructor and will keep you on track, provide motivation, and
empower you with skills that last a lifetime. We appreciate the courage it takes for a
teen or adult to try their hand at martial arts and you will feel at ease with an instructor
who has "been there, done that." Our classes have a strong fitness base and offer a workout comparable to a cardio-fitness class. Best of all, you will gain genuine ability.
Our Taekwon-Do students are invited to compete several times a year at local, state,
national, and international levels if they are competitively inclined. Although Taekwon-Do
and Kickboxing are very similar workouts, Taekwon-Do offers much more than just kicking
and punching. The traditional martial art offers the additional benefits of self-discipline, self-
control, self-confidence, and practical self-defense. You will gain a deeper understanding of
your body and how to effectively utilize a new found balance, focus, and breath control.
JUNIOR TAEKWON-DO
Our goal is to build our students from the inside out. This means that our first goal is to build
confidence, self-discipline and self-esteem. We train our junior students to use common sense
before using his or her skills for self-defense. We stress the importance of maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. The martial arts build strong bodies and strong values. We can help parents develop
children who value honesty, courtesy, respect for authority and the ability to say "no" to
unhealthy peer pressure. Self-control is a main aspect of the course for this age group.
LITTLE TIGERS 
Fun, games, and achievement awards, this program is designed to encourage balance,
coordination, focus, listening to instructions, and cooperation. This class is a fun way to
ensure your children are keeping fit and learning at the same time. Our Little Tigers course
is designed for children ages 4, 5 & 6. They will participate in fun martial-arts-based games
to improve their coordination, flexibility, and attention levels. This course also introduces the
traditional aspects of Taekwon-Do and children learn basic self-defense techniques and
Taekwon-do patterns (forms). The belts earned in this course are genuine Taekwon-Do
belts and children receive official certificates of grade.
