Jacobs Tae Kwon Do
Jacobs Tae Kwon Do is based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. A typical Jacobs Tae Kwon Do class is made up of self defence, calisthenics, stretching, Tae Kwon Do techniques, Boxing, and Ju Jitsu. Jacobs Tae Kwon Do is Holistic. It is structured toward moving individuals into balance. The program attempts to complement, enhance and challenge the mind, body and spirit.
Students are slowly and meaningfully introduced to martial art techniques and principles to help move them toward this end. The belt system is one way in which this is accomplished. There are nine belts in which each student must work through from white to first degree black belt. Within any given belt are requirements which are used to help mold and move the student toward their balance. Each student is introduced to short term goal setting. These goals are measurable, attainable and specific. Through achieving these short term goals the students learn how to focus on attaining long term goals.
Holding a grading is another way in which instructors challenge their students. This allows instructors to gauge individual progress. It also helps push each student to reach for their full potential. Performing on a stage takes practice and the more one does it the better one performs. As a result a student’s confidence and self esteem has no choice but to grow.
A student’s eligibility for grading is determined by several factors: a minimum number of classes, knowledge of techniques and curriculum, efforts to understand the rules of conduct and the principals of Tae Kwon Do, and the demonstration and practice of respect both in class and around the community.
Jacobs Tae Kwon Do offers classes for students of all levels, beginnor to advanced. Private lessons are also available upon request and we are now pleased to offer Birthday Party Packages. Please contact us for further information about any of these services.
