Class description: During this 7-class series, "Introduction to Traditional Tae Kwon Do," your child will be introduced to many of the fundamentals of this Korean martial arts practice. Included in their experience are opportunities for growth and learning across all domains of life – spanning Body, Mind and Spirit. They will experience engagement with centering exercises, meditation, the character tenets of Tae Kwon Do – Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit, light fundamentals of stretching, basic blocking, striking and kicking, safety-awareness, bully prevention, goal setting and disciplined follow-through – and all in the context of personal responsibility, gratitude and an appreciation for excellence! We will increase confidence and capacity through additional emphasis on respectful manners, successful social interactions and increased capacity to focus and be effective in the present moment. Instruction will be provided by Asheville Sun Soo Martial Arts, voted # 1 Martial Arts School in WNC for 16 years straight and Martial Arts School of the Year in the USA in 2021! For the duration of the 4-week introductory class series, participating students will have access to up to 2 additional classes/week at the Asheville Sun Soo Martial Arts main studio (800 Fairview Rd / Suite D-2, in the River Ridge Market Place) in order to amplify their otherwise once-per-week experience in the Jones Elementary After School class. This is an excellent "first exposure" experience and will provide an excellent foundation for any students wanting to continue their martial arts practice at the conclusion of the 7-week series. THIS CLUB IS ONLY TO ONLY NEW STUDENTS.
Registration starts on 01/03/2025 and ends on 01/24/2025.
Participants may register at any time during this period.
