IMPORTANT DATES Saturday, March 6 Upcoming Testing Dates |
Tournament FUN! Join us at the
March 27 tournament in Lexington KY! It's a short road trip ... about 3
hours away. Color belts compete Saturday afternoon and can make a day
trip of it. And the MOST fun is Saturday evening! The
tournament is cool, but at the end of the day, everyone goes to dinner
and then hangs out at the hotel together. The kids, of course, want to
swim; the adults want to relax and talk.

More self-confident kids starting in just 6 weeks
Is that really possible?!
Every day we hear from families that school teachers of our Little
Dragons, junior and teen students start seeing positive changes within
weeks.
Not only do students start behaving and focusing better, but their
self-confidence increases as they learn new skills and achieve goals.
We've found that the key is consistency in what we expect and in the
consequences, plus positive feedback when they correct their behavior
and when they try hard in class.
Haven't tried one of our free classes yet? Could your kids:
- be better behaved,
- feel more self-confident
- feel healthier
starting in as little as 6 weeks?
Summer is the best time to get your children started in martial arts at
Hilliard Taekwondo America. When school starts up in the fall, they'll
already be on their way to being more self-disciplined and having
increase focus.
What are you waiting for?
Fight childhood obesity!
According to recent news, 1 in 5 young children are considered obese! As they get older, it will be harder and harder to change their eating and fitness habits. The cost associated with health issues related to obesity is high.
At Hilliard Taekwondo America, our classes are fun and energetic! As children, teens and adults learn how to defend themselves and develop more self-confidence, they are also getting a great workout! Try a FREE class today!
Are YOU going to camp?!
Thur pm - Sat am,
June 17-20
Urbana University
Martial Arts camp used to be just for Black Belts (age 8+) and at a
college campus hours and hours away. Now it's also for color belts (age
10 +), and just a little over one hour away.
You'll have fun staying in college dorm rooms and eating in the college
dining hall. Plus, you'll get to work out with students from the schools
in Kentucky, Indiana and Westerville.
The cost is typically $250 per person, which goes to pay for the dorm
rooms, meals and the fun martial arts weapon we learn to use. One way to
offset the cost is through the sale of the discount cards, plus other
fundraisers like pie sales, break-a-thons, bake sales, etc.
How brave are you?
What are the
benefits of a Taekwondo workout?
Get more information on our FAQ page
Besides being a lot of fun and a great form
of self-defense, the exercise you get from martial arts style workout
(aerobic/cardio, strength training, flexibility) benefits every part of
the body, including how you feel about yourself, the health of your
heart, the strength of your muscles and the density of your bones.
When you exercise your body produces endorphins, which
are chemicals that make you feel more peaceful and happier. Exercise can
help some people sleep better and help with mild depression and
self-esteem. Plus, exercise can give you a real sense of accomplishment
as you achieve milestones in your fitness goals. We have students who
have reported significant weight losses as a result of eating healthier
and working out at Hilliard Taekwondo America regularly.
Exercising to maintain a healthy weight also decreases your risk
of developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes and
high blood pressure, which used to be found mostly in adults but are
becoming more common in teens. Exercise also helps prevent
osteoporosis (weakening of the bones, making them more prone to
breaking in later life especially among women).
Taekwondo encourages the development of positive character traits
such as respect for others and self, self-control, patience,
perseverance, self-confidence and a "can do" mindset. We teach a
non-violent approach to conflict resolution and find that the increased
self-confidence our students develop can decrease the odds that they are
involved in a physical altercation.
Students learn to step up to challenges, overcome obstacles and become
role models for others.
Almost any one can do it ... kids, teens and adults. You don't
need to "get into shape" first. In fact, many beginner students
have never exercised regularly before trying their first Taekwondo
class. One adult student said that working out in Hilliard Taekwondo
America's adult program "is like having a personal trainer." We help you
work out at the level that's appropriate for you and encourage you to
increase your fitness level over time. Of course, we recommend you to
talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
Taekwondo ... a great form of exercise and self-defense, plus a whole lot
of fun!
