Introductory Course

Self Defense.
You will learn effective and powerful self-defense skills as well as fundamental attitudes appropriate to those skills. The basic attitudes of a successful martial artist (and a successful person) are respect, discipline, goal setting and effective leadership.

Respect.
Through the Martial Arts philosophy and customs, the student learns to build superior relationships based on respect and friendship.

Discipline.
Through Martial Arts Training, the student develops self-motivation and "stick-to-it-ive-ness" (perseverance)

Goal Setting.
Goal setting is a necessary road map for a successful life. It was once said that, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." On the road toward a Black Belt the student gains the experience and a feeling of success by earning progressively higher belt ranks.

Leadership.
As you work with your fellow students you will develop communication skills. At the level of Red Belt you will be able to participate in our Leadership Training Program.

High Performance Tae Kwon Do is a "Black Belt" School. Our goal for every student is to help him or her earn their Black Belt--- not only in Martial Arts but also in life. By working toward this goal, we create an environment in which the student develops confidence through accomplishing high but realistic and attainable goals.

Our award-winning children's programs are designed to provide a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility. Our courses have proven to develop the following benefits in our students:

Self-Discipline.
To complete homework and chores without constant reminders

Control.
To accept responsibility for their actions and their attitude

Focus and Concentration
To improve grades and behavior in school

Courtesy and Respect
To ensure superior social skills Through positive reinforcement, children are encouraged to interact as they use equipment, wait their turn in games and share with others.

Speed, Coordination, and Flexibility
To boost athletic performance in other sports and activities in a fun non-competitive setting, children learn to roll, jump and kick. These confidence-enhancing exercises also develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills.

Self-Esteem and Confidence
To project a proud and successful image Activities are broken into smaller parts, enabling children to master every component. Confidence increases with each new task learned. In addition, children earn colored stripes on their belts, recognizing attendance and achievement.

Sharing , Camaraderie and Sportsmanship
To win friends and gain respect from peers

Goal Setting
To become a super achiever in all areas of life

Perseverance and Increased Attention Span
To never ever give up on their dreams The curriculum is carefully selected by highly motivated instructors to ensure age appropriateness, and classes continue to be fast paced with segments gradually increasing in duration to further develop attention span.

Courage
To overcome life's daily challenges

Inner Strength
To say no to negative peer pressure

Decreases Parent Separation Anxiety
Each class slowly acclimates your pre-schoolers to an environment away from Mom and Dad. This paves the way for a smooth transition into the school years.
