Student Success Stories
Ethan has benefited greatly from Taekwon-Do, but mostly by developing the DETERMINATION to advance and do well. Thank you so much!— Shahin and Diane Y.
Taekwon-Do has definitely been a good experience for Beverly. Ever since she started Taekwon-Do, she has been more active at school and at home. She looks forward to going to class and learn new things. Taekwon-Do has taught her a lot about pushing herself and communicating with others. She seems to have made some new friends and I am very proud of her for doing so. Thank you for teaching her and giving her great opportunities!— Alice W.
Taekwon-Do has definitely enriched my children's lives by being involved in an activity that focuses heavily on reinforcing important life skills and character building in a most positive atmosphere. The health and fitness aspect is a bonus! My responsibilities as a mother has been made that much easier when having to reinforce particular life skills (courtesy, respect, focus, discipline, self-control, responsibility, co-operation). The children and I enjoy the close connection and support…— K. James
At my parent-teacher meetings, both teachers said they have seen a step improvement in MATURITY and FOCUS in Diego. The timing of his changed ATTITUDE in class aligns exactly with when he started training Taekwon-Do at BBX! Our son is now pushing hard to strive to be his best.— Raymond and Adriana D.
Taekwon-Do is the best, and most regular, physical exercise that our son gets.— Dominic G. and Fiona M-G.
Ever since Beverly started Taekwon-Do, she has been more active at school and at home. Taekwon-Do has taught her a lot about self-defence and cooperating with others. Whenever she comes home, she tells us about her class and what she's learnt and how much she enjoys classes. Thank you for teaching her!— A. Wong
The good work carried by Bully Busters is timely especially at a time when bullying and violence are frequent items in the media and of concern to far too many young people. It is made more important in that you not only provide this critical service but also donate the proceeds to an organization committed to raising the profile of safety and young people.— David Millen, Executive Director, Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa
On behalf of the class, I would like to thank you for your excellent Bully Buster program. This seminar engaged the students into meaningful dialogue about bullying and gave them strategies for dealing with a bully. Your class gave the students an opportunity to practice their communication skills in a fun and 'hands-oh manner. This class helped build an awareness of the many faces of bullying. The lessons the students have gained will follow them throughout their life. Thanks again for…— Rebecca Murphy, Educator, Kanata Montessori School
On the weekend, we brought the children to the park. I was pitching a baseball to Emily's older brother and Emily was ready to retrieve it. When Tommy made a great, hard hit, I was impressed, until I saw it coming fast and hard, directly at Emily's head. Her reaction time was amazing, she dropped to the ground and the ball sailed over her. She laughed and said, "Hey, that was just like at Taekwon-Do!". (Referring to when the instructors swing the bats over the children's heads and they must…— Patti C.
Our son is now less interested in television and video games now and spends more time in activities like Taekwon-Do. He also seems to be calmer and less anxious about little things and life in general.— Susan E. and Mark E.
