Improve Your Life With Kuk Sool Won Martial Arts Benefits Welcome to the family! Our Pekin Martial Arts school may seem like just another place to get fit and learn self-defense... but really, it’s so much more. When you train with us, you’ll really feel like you fit in, no matter what your age, background or fitness level is. You’ll also learn powerful adult martial arts, discover ways to keep your children safe, and learn secret tips to staying in amazing shape that only elite martial artists knew about before. You’ll get into the best shape of your life, learn super cool self-defense moves, and experience changes in yourself that transform the lives of our new students. Sure you’ll get stronger and more toned, but the subtle changes in our students' minds are what amaze us the most. We’ll help you get whole body fit, but below are a few of the more subtle changes our students experience in our classes, as well. #1 Skyrocketing Self-Confidence Something amazing happens when you start to move your body and bring physical fitness into your life...it creates a foundation. A foundation for more happiness, a sense of accomplishment, and a BIG BOOST in confidence! You’ll have a group of passionate instructors and classmates right there ready to support you as you push past your limits and strive to reach your martial arts and fitness goals. As you progress through class, you will quickly realize how amazing and capable you already are. Knowing that makes you feel more confident and sure of yourself and increases your ability to handle other life challenges that come your way. Both kids and adults experience this and it’s one of the most rewarding things to see as a teacher. Kids – especially shy and quiet ones - blossom into superb leaders in the classroom, while adults tackle everyday tasks with more energy and a "can do" attitude. #2 Spot on Focus Martial arts is demanding at times and requires your full attention. As you concentrate hard on listening to the instructor, then performing what they taught you, you start to build important links in your brain that improve your ability to focus better and for longer periods of time. What’s great is that this intense concentration naturally pours into all other areas of your life too. Adults report being able to not only concentrate better at work, but they’re able to clear their mind at the end of the day a lot more easily. Kids benefit too as they pay more attention at school and at home… and that means they’re more productive. #3 Totally Fit and Toned Each class is loaded with fun and challenging exercises. But because you're so focused on performing techniques, and having so much fun, you hardly notice it. Before you know it, the class is over, and you not only learned powerful martial arts, you got a great workout, too. Being physically fit also boosts energy, mental clarity, and confidence. #4 Community Connections Get ready because your circle of influence is about to grow... big time! We're a tight-knit group here and everyone is all about support and friendship. As you struggle through tough training times, and smile through wins and victories, you’ll have your martial arts family right there to help and cheer you on. Friendship, encouragement, and high fives are part of every class. As you train together, you and your classmates will form an amazing bond. It's just an indescribable feeling. #5 My Personal Favorite: FUN! These classes are NOT military-style where someone shouts at you and forces you to do a bunch of things you hate! No, these classes are filled with FUN. Laughter can be heard throughout every class, people can be seen smiling, and the time flies. We want you to enjoy coming here, so we make it as fun and engaging as possible for you. That goes for both kids and adults.
