Welcome To American Martial Arts Center

The American Martial Arts Center is dedicated to providing a safe martial arts experience for students of all ages.  The goal is to provide a path for personal development through focused scientific training that promotes physical fitness and positive social interaction in a courteous and fun environment.  While the physical training in TaeKwon-Do is important, the instructors at the American Martial Arts Center believe that our most important responsibility is to instill in our students a sense of discipline and moral culture that will allow them to live their lives more fully. 

This is done by stressing the Tenets of TaeKwon-Do:

• Courtesy

• Integrity

• Perseverance

• Self-Control

• Indomitable Spirit

Our philosophy at the American Martial Arts Center promotes incorporation of the Tenets of TaeKwon-Do into the daily lives of our students.  In addition to developing effective self-defense skills you will also increase:

• Stamina

• Flexibility

• Focus

• Self-confidence

to name but a few of the benefits you will gain from studying TaeKwon-Do at the American Martial Arts Center.
At the American Martial Arts Center we have been “Building Character and Teaching Success Through TaeKwon-Do” since 1985.

Tip of the Week

The fifth student oath of TaeKwon-Do states: "I shall build a more peaceful world".

I am often asked "Sir, how can I stop wars and people shooting at each other?"  Well, the answer is simple you can't!  What you can do however is take responsibility for yourself and how you CHOOSE to respond when confronted with violence (physical, verbal or otherwise).  We choose if we are going to respond with more violence or if we are  going to kindness and love.  I am not saying you should never protect yourself, when someone is truly trying to hurt or kill you, you have no choice but to protect yourself.  However, those are few situations are few and far between and most students will never find themselves in a situation like that. 

More often than not we find ourselves confronted  by a person being a jerk a bully.  When that person taunts us verbally or pushes us physically, it our choice how we respond.  Do we push back, do we take it further and hit, do we call names back?  For the martial artist the answer is simple.  Since understand what will happen if we use our art, understand that the person (and perhaps ourselves) will be seriously injured we choose to avoid physical violence if we can avoid it.  We avoid the violence not out of fear, but out of respect for all living things to exist (even the jerks).

I look forward to seeing you in class next week!
