Dear Parent, It’s safe to say that you want to provide the best for your child. As a parent, it’s your job to play to your child’s strengths while working to bolster the weaker traits. We want to help! How would you like to… Kick up her self-esteem! ....Want to learn more?... At Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School, we teach MUCH MORE than kicks and punches! We use Tae Kwon Do as a fun, exciting way to teach values like self-control, respect, and dedication. The students have an awesome time while making great strides forward! The loads of fun and progress that our students have create an imperative “side effect”: the children clearly see that the values we teach are both important and attainable. Because of this, it is safe to say that there is NO sport or pastime better at preparing your child for life’s twists and turns than Tae Kwon Do. As we mentioned, self-control is one of the primary values that we teach. One part of self-control that we emphasize strongly is that students should NEVER use what they learn in our school on friends,brothers and sisters, parents, or schoolmates. In fact, students who enroll in our school tend to show lower levels of aggression over time. We stand very firm on that point: students of Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School are NOT, and will NOT become, bullies! So, Mom or Dad, you can feel secure about what your child will and won’t dowith the Tae Kwon Do he or she learns. As a parent, you’re probably interested in how we structure our programs. Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School has three distinct, age-specific children’s programs: 3 and 4 year olds are Mini Ninjas, 5 and 6 year olds are Little Ninjas, and 7 to 12 year olds join our Junior Tae Kwon Do program. These programs are separate, each with its own curriculum and goals appropriate for the students’ developmental levels. However, we took care and planning to the next level by ensuring that these programs progress easily from one to the next. We want it to be as easy as possible for students to transition from program to program as they grow, because this maximizes their overall progress... and we strongly believe in setting kids for SUCCESS! There are lots of successes for children to experience, from small steps to huge accomplishments. Which successes would you like your child to achieve? Do certain traits need to be improved so that your son or daughter can reach his or her maximum potential? “Crone’s Tae Kwon Do at a GLANCE” outlines just some of the amazing improvements Tae Kwon Do classes at Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School will develop in your child, as well as how and why Tae Kwon Do generates these results consistently! Crone’s Tae Kwon Do at a GLANCE: Goal Setting and its Ultimate Reward: Accomplishment In Tae Kwon Do, students move up in a stepwise manner, belt by belt. We don’t give students belts; rather, they earn them through disciplined practice and a formal test. For each any student’s journey to be a successful one, she has to decide that she not only WANTS to get her next belt, but that she WILL obtain it! He has to make the choice that nothing will stand in his way, no obstacle is too huge, no curveball is too unnerving! And like clockwork, all their hard work pays off: There’s no brighter smile than the one your child will be wearing as he or she knots that new belt for the first time! Learning to Lead With Integrity As students progress from belt to belt, the sense of accomplishment that they gain is only the tip of the iceberg. Two other key benefits they gain as they advance are responsibility and respect. Their level of responsibility increases over time to include not only themselves and their martial arts training, but also helping fellow students, taking care of the school, and being good role models. As they live up to their steadily increasing responsibilities, their maturity causes them to earn respect from other students, instructors, and above all from themselves. The respect positively reinforces the value of responsibility and service, creating upstanding leadership habits that will last a lifetime! Appropriate Actions Martial arts are built upon the principles of discipline and respect. If students refuse to develop these traits, they will not succeed in Tae Kwon Do, nor will they live up to their full potential in life outside the Tae Kwon Do school. Because SUCCESS, both in and out of the Tae Kwon Do classroom, is our goal for your child, our instructors constantly stress the importance of obeying people in charge, whether that person is a Master Instructor or Mom. It also becomes clear to students that they must be disciplined in practice at home if they really want to be their best. As their techniques become, quicker, stronger, and more accurate, children really grasp the fact that acting responsibly pays off! Over the course of his or her training, your child will make acting appropriately and being respectful a way of life… and that’s something that will make you both happy! Never Giving Up “Attention, class! I’d like to introduce our newest Black Belt: congratulations, Ms. Kalmar!” The class faced Ms. Kalmar (who could not stop beaming!), stood at attention, and bowed in respect and appreciation of her accomplishment. And as soon as that was done, the class broke out in wild cheers! Cultivating Confidence, Crushing Insecurities It’s impossible to succeed without confidence. This is never more clear than when kids are afraid to try things because they don’t want to “look stupid” in front of their peers. Their progress is paralyzed, and their development stalls out, when they lose the willingness to even try! In the positive, supportive environment of Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School, our caring instructors encourage each student to try his or her best. We emphasize that it’s not only OK to make mistakes, but in a way it’s GOOD to mess up sometimes, because that’s how we learn! And you know what? EVERYONE makes mistakes! What’s most important is to learn from our errors, to keep on trying, and not to get discouraged. Little by little each student improves, and confidence blooms as she takes pride in her abilities and accomplishments. Once kids begin to realize how much they’re truly capable of when they try, new doors swing open in every area of their lives! Excellent, Exciting Exercise It’s a fact: you’re a parent who wants to raise a healthy kid. You’ve probably tried to sneak veggies into your child at least a hundred different ways, and when it’s bike time you turn into the helmet patrol. Yet despite millions of parents just like you, childhood obesity is an epidemic in this country. Part of the reason for this is that, in our modern lives, it’s difficult to make exercise a regular part of kids’ lives. Tae Kwon Do is the answer! Tae Kwon Do is great for cardio endurance; coordination; and strengthening, toning, and stretching the muscles. But how are you going to make this great exercise “stick” with your child? Crone’s Tae Kwon Do School holds they key: loads of fun and bunches of friends! Through Tae Kwon Do classes at our school, your child will grow to love exercise, and he or she will build good habits to last a lifetime. It’s a win-win situation!
