We wanted to thank you and your staff for all the time and all the hard work spent with Dane in the last year and a half. Dane benefited from karate in more ways than ever expected. Dane started as a Tiny Tiger and moved on to the Karate for kids program. He had never been to school before and was getting ready to start Kindergarten. Right away we noticed improvement in his confidence level. He learned things that we as parents forgot to teach him and are very important before starting school.

.                                      

 He learned to raise his hand to speak, how to sit Indian style, he learned what a stranger is, what to do in an emergency and self defense techniques. More importantly he learned life skills that we hope he takes with him throughout life. The young years are so important and your karate programs make a difference. Keep up the hard work.

4/5/08 Dear Taekwondo USA/ HB,

TKs for the nice intro email and especially tks very much to Mr Ellison whom I remember back to my days as a brown belt in 1993 ! It’s due to Mr Ellison's perseverance and great school that I am still an ATA member, even if "passive" one for now and more importantly that we now have the opportunity to induct Emma into the spirit of Songahm Taekwondo.
 
Sincerely,

3/04/08  Taekwondo has been an awesome experience for me and my twins. I achieved Black Belt at the age of 50 and my boys will soon follow at age 11. We have a great time together at Taekwondo USA. I'm so glad we started training together.

Our son Shawn started Taekwondo at the age of nine. I really didn't know any thing about Taekwondo. I was looking for an activity that would improve his physical coordination and strength, but part of me wondered if he would use this training to clobber his fellow classmates. As I watched the first few classes, I could see how much attention was paid to respect: the careful bow when entering the studio or going out on to the floor, the right way to sit and stand, the full attention given to the instructor at all times. Shawn recited with his classmates the daily pledge that emphasize words like "perseverance", "honor" and "integrity". We were starting to see how Taekwondo was much more than just a physical activity, but also a way to develop mental and emotional strength. Shawn has matured in many ways since he has started Taekwondo. He has improved his balance, strength, and coordination. He has had the opportunity to develop his memory skills and to demonstrate his skills in front of an audience. He also has a greater understanding of the value of practice, shows more respect, for others and is a gracious loser as well as a compassionate winner. I want to thank Mr. Ellison and his exceptional staff for the patience and enthusiasm they have always shown my son and all of their students. Through them Shawn has learned lessons that will last the rest of his life.

Sincerely,
