Our School

Our base is in Tae Kwon-Do, although we also incorporate some Hapkido
and Jiu Jitsu into the curriculum.  Unlike most "Tae Kwon-Do" schools, we
also do weapons, Bo and Nunchakus.   Team Dragon Martial Arts was formed on
the principles of discipline and respect.  We teach more than simply martial
arts, we teach life lessons.  We have a demonstration and tournament team,
that has done demos at elementary schools, assisted living facilities,
tournaments, summer youth camp and church youth group..

The ultimate goal of Martial Arts training is the development of
qualities that make you a better person.  All Tae Kwon-Do students are
expected to learn and follow the Five Tenets of Tae Kwon-Do.  These are
qualities or principles by which Tae Kwon-Do practitioners are expected to
live.  As a system of ethical behavior they are considered important to the
development of character.  Practicing one requires practicing them all.  It
is not possible to pick and choose which tenets to adhere to.  The tenets
are:

Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit

Training in Martial Arts has many benefits, both physical and mental.
That's why it appeals to people of all ages, sizes and physical conditions.
No matter where you are now, you can become better - healthier, more fit and
less stressed.  Older people have successfully trained in the martial arts.
Many sixty, seventy, and even eighty-year olds practice Tae kwon-Do.  Young
people also gain from practicing Tae Kwon-Do.  Students as young as four or
five years old have been taught the rudiments of self-defense as well as
basic ethics.  For adults, no matter their physical condition, Martial Arts
can improve all areas of life.

Physical disabilities do not prevent participation.  Individuals in
wheelchairs have practiced Tae Kwon-Do, as have those who suffer from
conditions such as cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and different kinds
of arthritis.  Many such individuals have benefited greatly from their
participation in the martial arts, both physically and mentally.

Some of the benefits you can expect are:

Power, Strength, Flexibility and Endurance.
Self -Confidence
Self-Discipline
Focus and Concentration
