- General Info
- We are a school that guarantees better focus and discipline in every student that joins our program. And with distractions like videogames and television invading western society, Taekwondo becomes the ultimate force in keeping the student centered and focused on important goals. Our students greatly improve in areas of scholastic endeavors, fitness and mental levels and family relationships. But the benefits donāt stop there. Within 6 months of training, greater self-confidence and self-esteem levels arise in the student, giving them the motivation to achieve success in areas they did not believe possible. The shy and timid students begin to converse more freely and confidently, the over-active student begins to control their impulses, and those that are used to giving up when things get tough, learn to persevere until they overcome frustration. Bullying continues to be a big challenge for kids and adults alike. Our school provides the student with sound solutions to better deal with the problem by offering mental and physical skills for handling conflicts of all kinds. Our program works for bullies as well. We have had instances where the bully and his prey ended up in the same class. By training side by side with our black belt role models, bullies quickly realize that their behavior was wrong and end up being role models to other potential bullies. But Taekwondo is NOT just for kids. Adult students gain amazing levels of fitness, energy and positive attitudes by practicing with us. The middle aged student regains their youthful attitude and outlook and in turn creates a whole new world of possibilities for themselves. Family relationships GREATLY improve when everyone participates. Our school offers much to dramatically change somebodyās life. Its exciting to witness the positive change in each and every student, and rewarding for us as instructors to see the transformation firsthand.

First of all, if you're looking for a "Good job, Freddie", and a fuzzy, touchy, feely place, this ain't it. The folks are Masters and they change lives. This place is a "leave your attitude outside, learn a better one inside" kind of place. Our kids both had ADHD. After 3 months with the Kiffmanns at 3-4 times a week, we saw so much improvement, we dropped the drugs.
We started taking too.....8 years later, I'm still going strong. I'm in the best shape of my life, and my relationship with the kids is better than ever.
