This
is what Students can expect from our lessons:
We train our students (Children Ages 3 and up, Women, Men, and
Family) to the best of their ability. Some students come to us
in shape, while others have come to us severely overweight.
Most
come to us with limited flexibility. Adults can start at any age,
as we have had some adults who started as late as age 65, and have
still earned their black belts.
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 is
a willingness to try.
Our center offers a variety of Songahm
Taekwondo Programs for
students of every age and level.
Our purpose is to share skills
and resources, promote excellence in the martial arts, and encourage
the widest range of children, women and men to train in the spirit
of building individual and collective strength.
For Introductory Programs all training equipment is provided.
For advanced programs our training facility is equipped with the
finest martial arts training equipment. We can supply uniforms,
sparring gear, weapons, training gear, MMA Gear, boxing equipment,
mats, and much more for our students.
Children (Ages 3 and Up)
Karate
for Kids
Comprehensive instruction for younger
students (Ages 7 through 12) based on a lifetime learning concept
in addition to technical skills.

Tiny
Tigers
Developed specifically
for preschool age children (Ages 3 through 6).
This program offers
children a strong foundation
in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect,
and discipline.
The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) has designed the
Karate For Kids and Tiny Tigers programs to meet the needs
of children
ages 3 through 12. The specially designed programs offer
children many benefits that will help shape their future
by giving them
self respect and confidence in their own abilities. The Karate
For Kids motto is: "EVERY KID IS A
WINNER"
Believe me, “Karate
is the best thing you can do for your child!”
Women’s and Men’s (Ages 13 and Up)
Black
Belt Academy - Dedicated to enhancing your
physical capabilities and maximizing your self-defense skills.
Changing
One Million Lives - Changing the World one Black Belt
at a Time.
All children, men and women are welcome to our center regardless
of lifestyle, sexual preference, race, color, creed, religion,
class, age, or physical condition. We cherish martial arts as a
path of self-discovery and transformation and as a means of transforming
ourselves and the world in which we live. We find strength in each
other's challenges and promote an awareness and appreciation of
our differences.
Men in today's society, no matter what their occupation, will gain
confidence in dealing with day to day situations. Our programs
provide an outlet to release the tension that builds up from constant
pressure and responsibilities. Stamina will increase and a new
found enthusiasm to deal with everyday routines will develop. Family,
friends and coworkers will notice a difference!
Women who appear to be distracted, unaware or worse shrinks in
on herself in public may appear easy pray for muggers and
abusers.
Therefore, women need to be aware that their body language speaks
volumes about their mentality. By walking with a firm step, standing
tall and being unafraid to look someone in the eye takes mental
strength to be believable. As a karate instructor, I often tell
students, "The first step to avoid becoming a victim is by
not acting like one." Yet, no matter how vulnerable a woman
may feel she still has the right to defend herself. To embrace
that empowerment, a women needs training. Training can include
basic self-defense seminars, practical martial arts, or even combat
training.

Sincerely,

Mark Broughton
