Benefits of Ko Am Mu-Do
 
FOR CHILDREN
Our Ko Am Mu-Do curriculum is a scientifically and
anecdotally proven program designed to increase a
child's self-confidence, esteem, focus, concentration,
discipline, body coordination, and of course, ability
for self-defense. Through strict goal-setting and
hard-earned accomplishments, children become more
self-confident, and, in turn, their self-esteem also
gets a tremendous boost. We also use Positive Reinforcement
to instill a sense of resposibility and discipline.
Such benefits have irrefutably
been shown to lead to greater focus and effort in school
and better grades. These results are seen not only in
school, but also at the home. Our students, who are
taught to control their emotions and impulses, behave
better at home, are more disciplined in homework and
household chores, and become more amiable brothers and
sisters. Overall, they grow tremendously as individuals
because they progress at their own pace and not in
comparison to others. Every one of our martial arts
students is a winner, not a "bench sitter".
In addition to stressing the core tenets of martial arts
– focus, concentration, and discipline – our children’s
martial arts curriculum encompasses kicking and punching
techniques, body blocks, and grappling combinations, all
of which improves reaction, balance, coordination and
control.
FOR ADOLESCENTS
The teenage years, for many, was and is the most
important period in their lives. It is the fork in the
road of life and taking the right path is crucial. Our
Ko Am Mu-Do martial arts classes not only teach
adolescents self-defense, but also gives them the
opportunity to “burn off” excess emotional energy that
could potentially evolve into antisocial behavior at
school and at home.
Under supervision of the Grandmaster and Masters, our
adolescents are given opportunities to act as leaders
through class instruction and mentoring of younger
students. Our Grandmaster, as well as our masters and
instructors, serve as life-long mentors promoting and
espousing morals and philosophies derived from Oriental
and Confucian cultures. The tenets we emphasize for our
adolescent students include modesty, respect, hard work,
community service, leadership, and stoicism.
Our adolescent martial arts students, equipped with the
essential characteristics to help them avoid bad
situations, are better able to stay out of trouble and
to become leaders of society. During these very
important years of your child’s life, every part of
their body, mind, and spirit is growing. Give them the
structure and foundation with which they can navigate
toward the right path.
FOR ADULTS
The human body continually develops and maintains a
balance of 4 channels of chi energy, which circulate
throughout. Along these lines of circulation are 365
vital chi points, also known as pressure points. Our Ko
Am Mu-Do system has integrated these chi points into our
martial arts curriculum to develop, in essence, the most
effective self-defense program in the world.
Ko Am Mu-Do will train you in Hapki-do (defense against
grabs, chokes, etc), judo (throwing techniques), street
grappling, advanced weapon defense, and devastating
offensive techniques. Ko Am Mu-Do also trains you in a
variety of weapons such as the nun-chuks, bo staff, the
juk-do (wooden sword), kum-do (Korean fencing), and the
kum (real sword). This comprehensive system will enhance
your mind and body, give you superior flexibility,
balance, stamina, coordination, and strength.
Additionally, for those of you who are looking to get an
intense calorie burning workout, you have come to the
right place. Our Olympic Tae Kwon Do training, which
involves kicking and punching drills, will whip you into
shape in no time. Our Grandmaster, a former Korean
National and Bahrain National Team Head Coach, and
Masters are the most experienced in this form of martial
art in the United States.
Whether you looked us up to become the next Tae Kwon Do
Champion, a Master in self-defense, or simply to lose
weight and get in shape, we offer what you are looking
for.
