Adults - Ages 13 to Adult
If you are interested in Taekwondo or Martial Arts in general as a teen or an adult, it would be worth while to look into Songahm Taekwondo. Many Adults have always wanted to try but feel they are too old, inflexible, and out of shape. We train our students to the best of their ability. We realize that each student possesses different physical abilities and design our classes to address each person on an individual basis. It is for this reason, and the fact adults and children have different learning needs, that classes are age specific.
Some students come to us in shape, while others have come to us overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults can start at any age. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.
Here are some benefits you can expect from training in Songahm Taekwondo:
Fitness - The principals of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body. For power you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you progress in Taekwondo you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your body's strength into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.
Self-defense - When the speed and power developed through Taekwondo is used in a self-defense situation against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker's body, the result can be incredible. Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strengths, such as power in the legs while learning a method of self-defense efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
Self-confidence - This does not come naturally for many people, but self-confidence can be developed over a period of time. Through Taekwondo, as you accomplish new goals, your confidence level increases. Taekwondo instills a sense of discipline and self-confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your life.
