Choosing the Path of Martial Arts
Every single great Martial Artist started as a white belt. Whatever brought them in to try classes, whether that was a friend, an ad, or an event, they made the decision to try it out. After trying it, they decided to continue forward, choosing the path of Martial Arts. It is not an easy path, but it is rewarding in every single way.
Starting as a white belt can be scary. Students try something new and are unsure of what it will be like. Taekwondo training is very different from other activities. It teaches not only physical fitness but also life skills, friendship, and a path for life. Martial Artists learn from very early on to set their sight on goals and work hard to achieve them. They learn to never give up even when things get difficult. When they succeed, they earn a sense of accomplishment along every step of their path.
Physical fitness:
Taekwondo is a sport. We train in a unique way that not only improves cardiovascular health and helps get into shape, but also helps with strength and flexibility. Students learn to defend themselves while also moving their bodies and becoming more physically fit. Martial Arts training is the ultimate practice in mind-body connection, learning to train your body to obey your mind and mastering your mind to do anything you ask it to do.
Life Skills:
The most important lesson we teach as Mueller’s Martial Arts is life skills. We teach confidence, perseverance, attitude, discipline, focus, integrity, respect, goals, and dedication. Each and every class is centered around not only learning the meaning behind these skills, but also how to use them. By training with them in class they are adopted into the student’s everyday life, and they show up in school and at home. They become better, more well rounded people that are set up for a successful life.
Friendship:
Some of the best friends a person can have were made through taekwondo training. Students get to meet new people and work alongside them to reach the same goals. They are taught the same values and share the same passion and interests. Not only do they get to make new friends in class, but as part of a worldwide organization, they get to meet people from all walks of life and connect on a deep level. Some of our lifelong friends have come from taekwondo!
Path for Life:
Martial Arts training sets students up for a successful life. It teaches them perseverance even when things get tough, and that hard work and dedication will lead to accomplishments. Many students that train in taekwondo their entire lives end up becoming very successful, getting great grades in school, earning advanced degrees, and becoming high achieving adults. Some students even decide that Martial Arts is their true passion, and find a career in the industry. That’s what our very own Mr. Mueller did! The possibilities are endless for someone who has the foundation for life built by taekwondo training. At Mueller’s Martial Arts, we always choose the path of Martial Arts because we know what an incredible path it can be! We know it’s hard to start as a white belt, but by staying dedicated and trusting the process, success is bound to happen. To learn more about our program click here.
