Comments from Parents

We recently asked the parents of our junior members for some feedback on how their children are getting on. One of the questions we asked was “I like Master Douglas Taekwon-Do Schools for my children because…”. Here are some of the fantastic answers we received.

Having attended both Adamstown and Greenhills I feel that my son is getting the best of both worlds. The classes have an element of fun, yet concentration on technique also.

My son has the chance to work as an individual, work as a pair, and as part of a whole team.

The discipline in the class in firm but not overwhelming for a child. Everybody knows what is expected and what will be tolerated.

Each instructor is encouraging with every child. No child is singled out for getting something wrong. No child is humiliated as I have witnessed in other sports.

Each child is congratulated on their achievements both verbally and visibly with the use of tags on belts (juniors) and belt colour change due to grade progression.

This is a way “of life” and “for life” promoting goodness, discipline, structure, and strength.

It is a fun and disciplined way to keep fit and build confidence.

It promotes fitness, well being, respect, and structure.

They know how to reach to all children’s hearts and levels. Great help in growing up real children with great talents. Keep doing this. You got all our respect Master Douglas and the whole team. You are all great.

The list of reasons is long : they are having fun, getting fit, and strong, learning how to defend themselves if necessary. They learn how to work well with others and how to listen and be focused on the task in hand. Finally, they learn how to show respect and to expect respect in return for both themselves and others.
