Our School
At Tong Moo Do our goal is to improve your child’s life. With this focus in mind we have a unique approach to our instruction, classes, curriculum, and even our style. We will help your child develop a healthy body, mind and character.
Safe and Positive
Many parents come to Tong Moo Do and are pleasantly surprised at the positive and comfortable atmosphere of our school. Our goal is for all students to feel safe and supported by their instructors and classmates. We encourage a non-competitive, constructive, and cooperative attitude within our classes.
Education, Training, and Fun
We are constantly evaluating the balance of education, training, and fun that we provide in our classes. The education aspect is important to ensure your child is continually learning and growing in the knowledge of techniques and concepts. Training focuses on executing techniques and increasing your child’s physical development. Fun we feel is an important aspect that keeps training exciting and new.
Physical Development
The physical benefits of martial arts are numerous; cardio-vascular conditioning, strength, weight loss, coordination, stamina, flexibility, balance, and increased positive energy are just to name a few. Our students love the fact that they can obtain all of the physical benefits of exercise while doing something that is fun, interesting, and exciting.
Self Defense
Through our program, while getting a great workout, your child will also learn self defense. Our program focuses on practical, reality-based techniques, which students are systematically trained in, to be able to naturally respond in real life self defense situations. We believe the first step in self defense is staying out of dangerous situations. During our weekly safety talks we will teach your child effective ways to stay safe. Topics we cover include conflict avoidance, stranger danger, dealing with bullies, and personal safety.
Character Development
Not only will we focus on physically training your child, we also place a great emphasis on character development. At Tong Moo Do we have character building discussions built into our training curriculum. Your child will be challenged to apply the concepts they learn each week in our classes to their daily lives. Some examples of traits we emphasize are respect, self-control, discipline, courage, and honesty. We also focus on life skills such as good habits, proper attitudes, and good manners.
We Are a Non-Competitive School
In our school we promote a cooperative approach, focusing on mutual benefit. Students train in an environment where they are encouraged by their instructors and classmates while also motivating others to achieve their personal best.
