It’s important to set goals for the younger ones too so that they have something to works towards and feel accomplished when they get there. Here are some goals they can work on.

One of the main purposes of martial arts training is learning to defend yourself. Being empowered to possess the strength and skill to actually protect you and your loved ones means that you also must have the control to use it only as a defense. That self-control is an aspect of integrity, which means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Integrity is learned hand in hand with Taekwondo training at Venture Martial Arts.  It goes far beyond just using their skills in defensive situations. Students are taught to make all the right choices and therefore earning trust through their actions. They learn this during class and carry it into their everyday lives.  Individual practice during class: Just like at school kids are broken into groups to work on an individual basis. They are trusted to actually practice to the best of their abilities without someone watching...Read more

A good attitude can impact your life on every level. The law of attraction says that everything you focus on you will receive in your life, good or bad. Therefore, a positive mindset learned at a young age is crucial to living a happy life. That mindset can be created and fostered through Taekwondo training at Venture Martial Arts. Young kids in class, known as “little dragons”, are taught that attitude is the way you act. Even from the age of four, they are trained to have a positive attitude while doing martial arts, and the Dojang is not a place for negativity. That positive attitude is enforced at home and carries through to everyday life. Intermediate students, or “karate kids”, are taught that attitude means to behave like a black belt. From the day a student steps into the Taekwondo studio they are encouraged to strive towards being a...Read more

Last weekend was a tournament held by the National Martial Arts Alliance, next week is Nationals! Tournaments are an important part of every student’s taekwondo journey and that’s why they are encouraged to partake in them. Contrary to popular belief, students do not need to have a competitive nature to be successful in tournaments. There are still amazing benefits of competing. Goals: Students that compete in tournaments have very specific goals that they are working to achieve. Yes, every Martial Artist strives to earn their next belt, but tournaments are something that takes their work to a whole new level. They are able to show the world what they have learned in their training and get to experience their hard work paying off. The more tournaments they compete in, the more likely they are to win which is an incredible and rewarding accomplishment. Each tournament they earn points towards an...Read more
