WE TRAIN OUR STUDENTS TO THE BEST OF
THEIR ABILITY.
Some students come to us in shape, while others have come to us
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 belts. As a student, you are looked upon
as an individual, never compared to anyone else.
Our instructors
will be there 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 Songahm Taekwondo:
FITNESS
The principals of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your
body. For power you develop the larger, 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.
Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And
confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
We also offer specialized
women's self defense
courses throughout the year.
SELF-CONFIDENCE
This does not come naturally for many people, but self-confidence and
other
life
skills
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. |
