Ahn`s tkd has made such a positiv inpact on my life. I started taking classes there in my childhood and learned positiv lessons that has followed me thru my life. I earned my black belt before I moved back to Norway.
At Ahns you not only learn Tae Kwon Do, but disiplin and respect, pride in what you do, pride in achivements, and selfworth, inner strenght wich has followed and helped me many times over the years, espesially in my teen years, I had gotten the inner strength and confident not to buckle down to peer pressure wich can be brutal.
When I started at Ahn`s tkd, my school grades where low, and typical sports like football, baseball, soccer was not for me . I started at Ahn`s tkd and one of the patches one could earn on the uniform was an educational patch where you had to prove by reportcard over a period of time that you had good grades. Because a lot of my new friends had this patch on their uniform it made me also work harder in school to earn and recive the patch, and because this patch could be taking away from you if the grades slipped wich would be a real let down and embarassment it kept my grades higher then they would have been without it. The belts you wear, you have earned thru skills and acomplishments, the patches on your uniform have come there by doing hard work.
Master Ahn has a great way with all children, every child on this earth is different and he sees every kid for who they are and he truly wants to see them suceed, and we felt that he truly cared. He gives each kid the motivation they need to be and do the best they can be. I loved going there so much that I used to go five or six days a week, it was kind of a stress relife to be there, a sanctuary from all the day to day problems and stress, a place where I could be my self.
Today I am a parent and I try to pass along what Master and Grand Master Ahn taught me to my daughter age 10. She is going to start Tae Kwon Do after the summer by her own wanting to.
I really would recomend any parents of signing in their child to Ahn`s tkd, and while your at it, sign your self inn( now a days they say sitting around is just as harmfull as smoking is) . Not only will you or your child get a good workout and meet new friends, you get so much more, and if you enroll toghether with your child, your bonding relationship with your kid will go to another level, I speak of own experiance.
There are many Tae Kwon Do studios around, but there is only one Master H.P Ahn. I am forever greatful for what Master Ahn and Ahn`s Tae Kwon Do has done for me to help me grow and become the person I am today. read more
