STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Isabella K.

Congratulations to July’s Student of the Month, Yellow Stripe Isabelle K.
Isabelle has been practicing with us since the beginning of April.  In this short amount of time we have seen tremendous improvement in her technique, and have really noticed that the confidence she is showing during her practice has improved, too.  Isabelle shows us that with hard work and determination, a lot of improvement can be made in a short amount of time.
The next time you see Isabelle, please take a moment to Congratulate her.
Jay V.

We have chosen Brown Stripe Jay V. as the August Student of the Month.  This past month we have really noticed Jay putting forth extra energy and intensity during his classes.

This kind of energy is contagious.  We hope that everyone will follow Jay’s example of focus and concentration and use it to help yourself improve.

The next time you see Jay, please take a moment to congratulate him on his achievement!

Congratulations, Jay!

The Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do
COURTESY
INTEGRITY
PERSEVERANCE
SELF-CONTROL
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
Showing kindness, empathy, fairness, and politeness towards others. Examples include saying "please" and "thank you," responding when someone speaks to you, and offering a welcoming handshake to new students in class.
Being worthy of trust and knowing the difference between right and wrong then choosing to do what is right. Examples include admitting to your mistakes, making constructive choices even when no one is watching, and following through on commitments made in class or at home.
Striving to move forward even in difficult situations. Examples include setting a long-term goal and seeing it through, focusing on your accomplishments and completing unfinished projects, and working hard to move forward even in demanding circumstances.
Demonstrating discipline over your mind and body. Examples include walking away from threatening or confrontational situations, choosing to ignore negativity rather than to retaliate against it, and displaying your emotions appropriately.
Having a strong and unconquerable sense of self. Examples include staying true to your beliefs even against adversity, setting and achieving challenging goals, and looking for the positive rather that the negative in everything you do.
