Midtown Martial Arts

THE PROGRAM
At Midtown Martial Arts, we focus on developing the Tae Kwon Do skills and discipline of students ranging from 5 years of age and up, white belt to black belt. A typical class consists of stretching, technical training, self-defense, traditional patterns, and sparring. Occasionally, students are given the opportunity to participate in local tournaments and to test for higher rank.

THE HISTORY
Martial Arts training helps its students in many ways. It instills confidence, discipline, and respect for others that permeates into all areas of life. The training regimen itself promotes and develops better health and fitness by creating better coordination, balance, strength and flexibility. In school-age children, Martial Arts students carry their improved ability to focus from the Dojang (training classroom) into the academic classroom, thus improving their scholastic performance.

THE STUDENTS
Our students gain much more than martial arts training and its associated benefits. They gain a healthy respect for one another thus building lasting relationships. Because of the diversity of students in the program, individuals are exposed to others outside of their typical school circles; leading to better social skills and a greater understanding of diversity.
