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!
