Welcome to the Online Home of our Oak Creek Martial Arts School.

Dear Friend,

In a moment, I'm going to tell you a surprising, though classic, tale of martial arts. It reveals how martial arts is not just about punches, kicks & self-defense...

... but how it's an incredibly transforming way of life.

Now, while the names have been left out of this story, I assure you of its truth. And from my many years in the martial arts world, I can tell you that this story has happened hundreds...

... if not thousands of times in the past.

And while this story is about a child, and what happened when martial arts entered his life, it applies just as strongly to adults of all ages, shapes and sizes.

Without further ado, here's the tale.

A child once came to us who never really got "excited" about anything. He just kind of went through life, doing what he was told, not being overly happy, and not being overly said. He was always "even Steven". This seemed okay at a quick glance...

... but it worried his parents. They wanted to see enthusiasm in their child, passion, joy. Could you blame them? Yet as much as they tried to "unlock" those traits - they never succeeded.

Then the parents caught wind of martial arts. Perhaps it was through talking to other parents, or perhaps they came across a website like this one.

Whatever it was that brought them to martial arts - they became eternally grateful for it.

Because within one week of martial arts training, their son was a completely different person.

His smile was brighter. He couldn't wait for martial arts class every day. He became disciplined, respectful, and focused. He practiced with all of his heart in class, and with equal passion at home.

Through striving to learn every move - and advance through the ranks - he learned goal setting, ambition, confidence, and focus.

His grades improved. His relationship with his friends, parents, teachers and everyone else improved.

He was growing into a fine young man. One who was gaining the skills for success in all areas of life.

Now, as I mentioned, this story applies to more than just children. It applies to men and women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and up. It applies to teenagers. It applies even to children as young as 4 and 5.

Martial arts and Tae Kwon Do aren't just punches and kicks. It's a way of life. It's about reaching out for whatever you want in life, and having the discipline to do the hard work that it takes to succeed.

Here in our Oak Creek martial arts school - we strive to teach every one of our students these powerful life skills.

That way you can live more strongly, confidently, and more happily.

I hope to see you soon for your first class. Then you can see what I'm talking about firsthand.
