US Taekwondo Center

I was very reluctant to join Taekwondo. The U.S. Taekwondo Center is a prominent part of our community, and my children, having interacted with their staff on a number of occasions, were all pleading to try it. We began with a week-​long camp and then signed them up for a 4 week trial of unlimited training. Once they earned their first belt, they began asking us (parents) if we would train with them. Master Lee offered us the opportunity to train together with minimal initial investment or risk, so I began. I liked the disciplined and supportive environment for my children so much that I wanted them to attend as many classes as were available, so in the first few months of training, we were there several nights a week. Though I swore that I wouldn’t continue past the first 6 weeks of «trial,» I began to enjoy the focused environment and found that I was starting to set and reach goals… something I hadn’t done in years. Learning the fundamentals of Taekwondo training and the tenets of the student creed began to shift my thinking dramatically and helped pull me out of a dark and potentially destructive place. After my first belt test, I decided to continue my training through Black Belt… and I will… only 3 belts in, but I will. If you’re on the fence, come try out the USTC family. You will thank me.
