If you and your child should decide to pursue the goal of earning a Black Belt at Rowlett Martial Arts Center, you will learn that it is much more than what is perceived by the mainstream. Taekwondo teaches the practitioner how to have the discipline to achieve goals, how to respect others, to have honor and integrity, to find inner strength within themselves, that knowledge is power, success comes from hard work and dedication to your goals, that life is full of trials and errors that helps mold the person we choose to become, that we should love and cherish our family because they are the roots of our foundation and support, and yes it is a form of self-defense. They will learn how to avoid confrontation because they will possess the self confidence to understand that walking away is not cowardice and that fighting is used only as the last option.
