Regular Training at Taekwondo Central is a great journey of Personal Development, Self Discovery and Self Improvement. Martial Arts training is not only about being able to defeat an enemy but also about defeating the Inner Enemy and conquering inner fears that stop confidence and hold you back from attempting to achieve a goal or a dream.

1 Courage

Is built within our members by the different challenges they are able to conquer in Taekwondo Central's training page. Stepping up to an examination(Grading) puts students under pressure to perform, in return this teaches members to deal with these emotions of pressure thus making them stronger.

Though being in Taekwondo Central's Demo Team or Taekwondo Central's Competition Team are totally optional, but they too have their place in boosting courage, Demonstrations help members deal with the overwhelming performing in front of the public, while tournaments put members face to facewith an opponent putting pressure on them in a safe, controlled atmosphere.

2 Respect

Is developed through the traditional martial arts bowing process. In Asian countries bowing is a sign of respect via lowering yourself to someone, it is used simular to how a handshake is used in Australia. A bow signifies respect between each other but also shows to get respect you must give it.

3 Confidence

Is attained by the "Gihap" (concentrated yell). By watching you will notice members yelling out while doing strikes or kicks. A gihap allows you to focus your concentration into the technique you are doing to increase the power of your hit, the yell is to boost confidence by making them feel stronger.

4 Discipline.

To achieve the initial goal of black belt, a student must consistantly practise, not give up when the going gets tough, follow through with a goal they set for themselves. Through this the process of discipline is developed

"There is no success in anything without discipline"

5 Patients.

To be proficient in Taekwondo it takes Time and Patients. A habit is formed only after 3000 - 9000 repetitions of a technique. This takes many training sessions, but through learning patients and consistantly training the repetitions can be clocked up to build the right habits.

6 Focus

Is achieved by improving the students concentration and reaction skills through various training drills and concentrated efforts during class.

Along with the Qualities already mentioned, with regular training at Taekwondo Central a member will find quick increases in flexability, balance, co-ordination, fitness and strength all based around a development system which is fun yet challenging.

Our teaching is based on encouragement and positive motivation based around our clubs philosophy of "Kaizan" (consistant improvement) combined with arming our members with the belief that there are no such thing as failures only useable results, to learn from our successes and failures for Kaizan.
