What are the benefits of Taekwondo?
Signing up for Taekwondo isn’t only a fun after school fitness program for your child. It also means that you’re signing up for:

- Taekwondo training from a former Guam National Team Athlete;
- A sport and lifestyle that your family will experience for a lifetime (Taekwondo is forever, and a martial art that you can take with you well into adulthood and even during your senior years!);
- An identity in a martial art that students can write about in their college essays, grow alongside likeminded peers, and work towards on their individual journeys to Black Belt and beyond;
- A safe place where they’ll be mentored for beyond just one school year or one sports season – Taekwondo is a year-round activity that is beyond varsity, junior varsity, team tryouts, and seasons. They’ll be mentored by Master Michelle for months and years to come! This continuity is great for community and for true growth.

- A new hobby that includes exercise, stretching and flexibility, strength and conditioning, and martial arts mobility;
- A unique skill that you can master and grow in for the rest of your life. It’s also an amazing backup or side career that your child’s talent can expand in!​
