Martial Arts and Violence Fayetteville, N.C.


Every now and then new students or parents walk into the doors of a martial arts school and have questions rolling through their heads. “Will this make my child violent? How will my child know when to use his/her training?” Some schools get so focused on tournaments and making sure that students are ready for testing that they lose sight of much more important issues.  

One of the ways EMA will be monitoring this topic is by tracking students’ progress in taekwondo class as well as grades and attitude at school. Each testing cycle, every student must earn permission to test by showing good behavior at school, taekwondo class, home, and work. Students cannot test unless they are asked by an instructor. 

Violence can also be put into many different categories and perceived several ways, everything from children pushing each other down in football to fist fights by the flag pole. EMA covers all types of self-defense but most importantly covers how to keep conflicts from becoming violent.  

If you have any further questions regarding if you or your child is being violent, e-mail me at tjholgerson@gmail.com or call (913)-754-6570. I am SUPER excited to bring EMA to your town this fall!
