Safety


With the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, where over 2 dozen children and adults were gunned down at an elementary school, there is a lot of talk about safety and guns.

You don’t have to have a risk management personality to understand the importance of safety, especially if you have a family. In the last 12 years our country has gone through many natural disasters, tragedies, shootings, terrorist acts, and not to mention we are currently in the middle of one of the longest wars in history. That being said, how do you insure safety for you and your family? I wish I could tell you that if everyone bought a security system for their house, pepper spray for their purse, and put GPS trackers on all of their children, life would be fine.

Unfortunately no matter how many promises of safety you buy into, you will never have a 100% guarantee. Safety isn’t something you pay for once and you’re good forever. It is an ongoing dialog between students and instructors, co-workers and bosses, children and  parents, and you and yourself. Knowledge is great, but if you aren’t continually practicing safe behaviors everywhere you go, you may be caught off guard.

Take some time today to go over safety with your family, and look forward to child safety seminars coming soon! Empower Martial Arts wants to equip you with confidence and understanding to prepare you for the many challenges that come your way in Tae Kwon Do, school, work, and wherever life takes you.
