We train our students to the best of their ability.
Some students come to us in shape, while others have come to us
100+ pounds overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility.
Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started
as late as age 65, and have still earned their black belt! As a
student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to
anyone else. Our instructors will be there for you every step of
the way! All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.
Here are some benefits you can expect
from training in Taekwondo.
 
FITNESS
The principles of Taekwondo techniques
are based on the design of your body. For power you develop the
larger, more powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques
comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you
progress in Taekwondo, you will learn to coordinate this speed and
power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your body's strength
into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or
the heel of the foot.
 
SELF-DEFENSE
When the speed and power developed through
Taekwondo is used in a self-defense situation against the soft vulnerable
parts of an attacker's body, the result can be incredible. Taekwondo
allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strengths,
such as power in the legs, while learning a method of self-defense
efficient against a much larger opponent.
SELF-CONFIDENCE
This does not come naturally for many
people, but self-confidence can be developed over a period of time.
Through Taekwondo, as you accomplish new goals, your confidence
level increases. Taekwondo instills a sense of discipline and self-confidence
that can carry over to all aspects of your life.
A special benefit for teens...
Knowing you can defend yourself, your
confidence will grow, and confidence alone is usually enough to
deter potential attackers.
What our parents and students have to
say about our programs:
The Black Belt Academy, led by Masters Jeff and Reneé Battenberg, has not only been an encouraging environment to learn Tae Kwon Do, but it has been a unifying force in the relationship with my son. We take classes together, go to the Junior Camp together in the spring and have been to numerous tournaments. As a dad, I want my son to grow up with confidence in himself so that he can be not only a success in what he grows up to be but also a positive person to be around. He is learning this exact truth each week. The memories that have been made with my son through the Black Belt Academy will be held close to my heart for the rest of my life.
