Taekwondo for Self Defense
I was recently asked whether Taekwondo is a good style for self defense.
Like many questions there are several aspects to this and it is not a simple answer.
Taekwondo Cross Training
Martial Arts in general, and Taekwondo specifically, are great for physical conditioning.
It seems like when many of us were kids, sport was less organized, less formal, and more play than it has become.
Which Style is Best for my Child?
One of the most common questions that parents ask when considering enrolling their children
in a martial arts program is “Which style is best for my child?”
Chamber of Commerce Service Excellence Nomination
Epic recently had the honor of being nominated for an Okotoks Chamber of Commerce Service Excellence Award.
From the very first time we drove into Okotoks we knew that we wanted Epic to be a part of this fantastic community.
New Research
Reseach is studying how sports like Taekwondo can help kids with ADHD develop focus, which can help them in all aspects of life.
A quick Google search reveals hundreds of articles that specifically discuss the discipline and focus that Taekwondo provides.
The Power of Goals
Setting goals is core to so many of the character traits that make kids excel in sport and in life.

Goals are the milestones that we drive towards and give kids a reason to be motivated.
A Modern Approach
Martial Arts training has evolved incredibly since its early days.
Those who participated as kids will remember thousands of repetitions of the same kick, knuckle push-ups,
and forced splits! That’s not the only way to learn.
