Martial Arts training offers much more than

self defense. No one can deny the importance of

self defense knowledge in today’s society. From defending yourself against school bullies or warding off a potential purse snatcher in the mall parking lot, self defense can prove to be invaluable at some point in your life.

Kids and adults can learn age appropriate self defense that works. At Allstar Martial Arts Academy, self defense techniques are a part of every class that you attend. The kids classes and the adult classes break down t echn ique s and de f en s i ve movements that anyone can learn and remember. Through repetition and practice, the self defense moves you learn become instinctual, so that if you have to defend yourself one day, you don’t have

to think about it - your muscle memory kicks in and the moves just happen.

Character building is a built in benefit of martial arts classes at Allstar Martial Arts Academy. Life long character traits are introduced and reinforced in the martial arts classes at our Academy. Some of these character traits are stated in our Tenets of Taekwondo that the students chant at the end of e ve r y c l a s s : C O U RT E S Y, INTEGRITY, PERSEVERANCE, S E L F C O N T R O L A N D INDOMITABLE SPIRIT. These tenets are upheld in every aspect of of a student’s training inside our Academy and we emphasize the importance of students upholding these values and traits outside of our studio, as well

Knowledge is power. As you, the student, learn kicks, blocks and punches, then incorporate those into realistic self defense movements, you become

EMPOWERED! Knowing you can defend yourself from an attacker is life altering - for kids and adults. The

confidence that comes with that knowledge will have you walking taller, holding your head higher, looking people in the eyes - which, in turn, makes you less of a target to those bad guys. It’s never too late to learn martial arts and improve your confidence level. It may save your life one day! Inquire at the front desk to find out how you can try lessons and change your life TODAY.

Buddy Week is a HIT!

The Nottingham Family taking part in Buddy Week. Students, Trident and Dylan, invited their mom and sister to attend class with them.

Nothing is more fun than having moms and

dads, sisters and brothers, and friends in your martial arts

class with you. Following every Testing and Awards

Ceremonies, we have what we call “Fun Week/Buddy Week” at Allstar Martial Arts Academy. During this week, students get to bring mom, dad, sisters, brothers and/or friends to class with them. Students have an opportunity to share with their families and buddies a

small taste of how much fun they have in their martial arts classes.

During the months prior to the testing, students work hard, learning their material necessary to earn their new rank. After the testing is completed, we take a “breather” from all of that training to have a little bit more fun than usual, before we dive into our new curriculum for our next testing ceremony. Fun week is even more fun because your families and buddies can attend class with you. The students LOVE having moms, dads, siblings, and friends in class! Mark your calendars for our next Fun Week/Buddy Week - June 21 through June 25, 2011. You won’t want to miss it.

Study. Learn. Practice.What are those words that I hear in class? The funny sounding words you hear in class are Korean commands. Here’s a brief overview of those words.taekwondo: art of the hand and footcha ryuht: attentionkyung nae: bowjhoon bi: ready positionbah ro: return to read positionseejak: begingomahn: stopdojang: training studiodobok: uniformkihap: yell

Tenets of Taekwondo (the words we say at the end of every class) - a guide which all serious students of taekwondo should observe and implement in their lives.

Courtesy : be polite, respect othersIntegrity : define right and wrong, and have a consciencePerseverance: set a goal and patiently strive to achieve it; overcome every difficulty along the waySelf Control: strength to conduct oneself in a proper mannerIndomitable Spirit: persevering through tough situations, without fear or hesitation

Patterns for each rank level:Beginners - Dan Gun, 21 movesIntermediates - Joon Gun, 32 movesAdvanced - Choong Moo, 30 movesBlack Belts - Kwang Gae, 39 moves & Choi Yong,46 moves

General knowledge for intermediate/advanced students.General Choi Hong Hi: Founder of taekwondoChang Hon: Style of taekwondo we studyApril 11, 1955: Date taekwondo was foundedCharity, Harmony, Justice: 3 main objectives of taekwondoTo build a more peaceful world: #1 priority of taekwondoTotal number of patterns: 24

Theory of Power, 6 elements:Reaction force: every force has an equal and opposite reaction forceConcentration: applying the impact force onto the smallest target area will increase its effectEquilibrium: a blow is most effective from a balanced bodyBreath Control: a sharp exhale (kihap) at the moment of impact tenses the abdomen to concentrate maximum power, while a slow inhale helps prepare for the next movementMass: maximum power is obtained from using maximum body weight and speedSpeed: the most essential factor of force or power. Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F=MA)

Each rank level will learn specific blocks, kicks, and punches - the students must know the names of these moves and how to execute each move, in order to be able to test for his/her next rank. Through repetition during class, the students learn their moves, names, and proper execution; however, practice outside of the studio is greatly encouraged. As with any sport or activity, practice makes perfect. Any extra time spent training only helps to improve the student.

This is a basic study reference only. This is not an all inclusive list, by any means. Students learn far too much in class to list here in entirety. If you need any help with pronunciation, just ask!

Recent Testing /Awards

During a Testing Ceremony, students perform their patterns, techniques, self defense moves, sparring (if intermediate), and board breaking.

Congratulations to the Allstar Martial Arts Academy students who recently tested and earned their new rank! You worked hard and proved yourself during the testing ceremonies. We are proud of you and you should be very proud of yourselves, knowing that you put forth the effort, trained hard, and EARNED your new rank. Hard work ALWAYS pays off - congratulations!

It is always an extremely special and proud moment for the instructors of Allstar Martial Arts Academy to place a Black Belt on one of their students, knowing the amount of work and effort they put into their training.

Action-packed party experience your guests

won’t forget! Give your child a birthday party they will remember forever! Allstar Martial Arts Academy birthday parties provide you with a fun, exciting and unique way to celebrate your child’s birthday. We lead and supervise action-packed martial arts games and activities, which are always a huge hit, such as Dodgeball, Ninja Tag, Mr. Lord Says, Relay Races, and so much more. We entertain and supervise the children during a fun group martial arts lesson, with the birthday child leading the way as the “Assistant Instructor” for the party!

The children learn how to kick and punch the practice pads, in preparation for the grand finale, where they each will have an opportunity to break a real wooden board!

Probably the most memorable part of the party, however, is during the cake cutting, where the birthday child gets to cut the cake with a REAL SAMURAI SWORD!

It doesn’t get easier than this. Your birthday party at Allstar Martial Arts Academy will provide you with an EASY, FUN, NO-STRESS birthday party

experience. Your party will be hosted in a large (2,700 sq. feet), clean, safe, air conditioned studio equipped with a sound system and loaded with martial arts equipment. Your party attendees will be entertained and supervised by your party host and party instructors. We provide you with the ultimate action-packed party experience, including the instruction, lessons, games, and overall supervision—you supply the little stuff (paper products, cake, etc.) The children will have a blast—while you sit back and relax.
