I am thrilled with the results I have seen in my daughter since starting the program. Having Taekwon-Do as a third place where proper behaviour, etiquette and respect is expected, has made huge improvements. I just got a note from her teacher stating she has seen big improvements in the last few months. Abby is no longer competing with others, playing nicely and sharing, listening to different ideas (not just her own) and cleaning up after herself. I am so happy :) — Pam H.
My Taekwon-Do training has enhanced my leadership abilities in all sorts of environments, with children or adults, inside or outside. It has also kept me in good physical shape. I love that great feeling of accomplishment that I have when finishing a particularly difficult or challenging class. Taekwon-Do has also further affirmed my belief that anyone can do anything if they really want to, but to really want to, you have to try. Then you will succeed. — D. Matute
Nico is a great kid both at home and at school. He enjoys the Taekwon-Do classes and likes to practice what he’s learned at home on his dad! In fact, he often asks to 'fight' with papa (play-fight, that is), which has become one of his favourite activities over the last few months. While I wasn’t too sure about it at first, I can see that he enjoys it immensely and that it’s a great bonding time for the two of them. I see this as a positive thing for him and also appreciate the physical… — Dr. K. Castro
Ana has gained more confidence in herself. Her stamina has also improved in the last year and is not as easily tired as before. — Waseem and Noreen Q.
I believe that Taekwon-Do is in perfect harmony with our hopes and desires for our son's formation. He is enjoying the Little Dragons program and already its lessons are spilling over into his everyday life. I am confident that the Little Dragon program will continue to have a positive influence in his life. — Ester D. & R. Gariepy
Our goal with Taekwon-Do for our son is two-fold:
- to add to the stream of role modeling, positive values, positive feedback and corrective feedback that come from family and school
- for physical benefits of health and co-ordination, and the benefit of experiencing a different environment and different set of people.
"These goals are being met at Black Belt Excellence on an ongoing basis, and hence we are delighted to be part of the Black Belt Excellence community." - D. Goodwill
We have seen a lot of improvements with Braeden since September. He does not get as easily frustrated and he just seems a lot happier. He puts a lot of effort into his homework and we don't have to fight with him to get him to do it. — Sandi S.
Taekwon-Do has provided a positive experience for Nico in terms of fitness (especially during the winter months) and friendships. — Manuel and Karen C.
Mark has gained SELF-CONFIDENCE, better grades, improved health and fitness as well as developing a positive behaviour towards his parents and PERSONAL GROWTH. — Lam N.
When hearing the words, "self-defence", I think of protecting oneself against others, (such as 'bad guys' and "bullies"). Over the past few weeks, Emily has proven that the self-defence skills she has learned at Black Belt Excellence have a much broader scope.
Last month, Emily mastered riding a two-wheeler. As is true with everyone learning to ride a bicycle, Emily fell. After one tumble, she came over to me and said, "Guess why I didn't hurt myself! I learned how to 'break-fall' at…
