R.A.D. (Respect And Discipline) After-school program
The R.A.D. program is designed to teach kids respect and discipline through the
use of martial arts. The kids will learn the basic Taekwondo curriculum, which
focuses on proper kicking techniques, blocks and punches. They will also learn
how to focus (an important skill which transfers to their ability to do
schoolwork), how to set and achieve goals (a skill which well serve them well in
numerous areas throughout their lives, teaching them the value of never giving
up), and how to develop better coordination. In addition, they will learn how
to defend themselves, as R.A.D. will give them the confidence they need to deal
with the bullies who are, unfortunately, a major issue in schools today.

Cane Do for Seniors
What is Cane Do you ask? It means "the way of the cane". Our Cane Do program is perfect for seniors, as it allows them
to take advantage of their canes, familiar objects they always have with them, in order to increase their physical health
and their ability to defend themselves against an attack. With our Cane Do program, seniors will exercise their bodies in
new ways, while at the same time learning how to use their canes as defensive weapons. We will teach them how to block and
strike, using the crook, shaft and tip of their canes. They will find that just acquiring and practicing the moves learned
in this program will be an excellent work-out, and if they ever find themselves in a dangerous situation in which these
skills become necessary, they will know how to respond effectively.
