RESPECT: One of the basic premises of the martial arts is respect. We first teach respect for themselves and all around them, then we teach technique.

SELF-DISCIPLINE: While we use the theory of an oriental warrior's disciplinary training, the instruction is geared more toward teaching children self-control as their minds and bodies mature.

COORDINATION: A child's physical and mental coordination will improve through our routine of technical training.

BEHAVIOR: The discipline and rules of conduct in our classes combined with bowing, answering "yes sir/ma'am," and other attitude requirements, help steer the child's behavior in a positive direction.

CONFIDENCE: Children discover self-value and pride through our training with the attitude of "I can do it."

PATIENCE: Many children have grown accustomed to instant gratification common in our hi-tech world. Our classes will help to bring out their inner calmness and endurance. As they experience achievement through the progression of our belt system, they will learn to pursue goals with an "always finish what you start" attitude.

CONCENTRATION: Developing powers of concentration through our training is assisted by our code of "all out effort" which must be performed by the child in every class. Children learn the three keys of concentration; focus mind, focus eyes, focus bodies. This is one of the most important benefits of our program. These powers of concentration are transferred into a child's academic performance.

RESPONSIBILITY: Children in our program learn that you must not only do the right thing, but you must do the right thing for the right reason. Personal responsibility means that our children must choose the correct path on their own and accept the consequences for incorrect actions.

COOPERATION: Group training with other children teaches the skill of teamwork. Teamwork skills are valuable for use throughout the course of life.

BETTER HEALTH: A formal training program helps to develop a child's physical being both inside and out. Better mental and physical health improves all other areas of a child's life, such as eating and sleeping habits.

GROW WITH A SENSE OF JUSTICE: By utilizing our warrior's honor codes, children will mature and grow with a sense of fairness. Our instructors will enforce the right way and wrong way throughout our lessons.
