We were very lucky to have an instructor that cared about us. He was always fair with his students and treated the newest white belt student with the same respect he would give to a black belt. He made you feel good about yourself. You just gave your best effort without hesitation. If you try martial arts for just a few weeks or stay in it for a life time you will always be a martial artist.
Every class carries the message of respect, honor, and pride.
These are the things that are the most valuable. You will have been touched by the magic of martial arts and it will never leave you. It is not my purpose here to give any long detailed descriptions of techniques, or to promote one type of martial art over another. I only wished to express my respect for the martial arts, and encourage you to take a look at this sport for your children, or maybe even yourself. It took my son and I over six years to reach the black level in Tae Kwon Do.
