Why include martial arts in a homeschool curriculum?

A martial arts education is comprehensive, providing vigorous physical exercise, life lessons in sportsmanship, goal setting, and perseverence, and powerful self-defense skills.  Students develop endurance, agility, self-discipline and self-confidence: lessons that will serve them on and off the mat no matter what they choose to do in life.

About the program:

We offer an All Belts/All Ages Class two mornings a week so homeschool families can include martial arts in their weekly study programs. In addition to the morning classes, the Academy Weekly Schedule offers a wide variety of evening and weekend classes for all ages and ranks. Homeschool families who wish to train more than twice a week have many options to choose from.

During morning classes we offer classrooms for siblings who choose not to participate. One child can have 45 minutes of study time while the other child (and mom or dad!) is on the mat.

 "It was an intentional and strategic choice for us to add martial arts to our homeschool curriculum.  We wanted our kids to be involved in a physical activity that would help them to further develop their confidence, self-awareness, and focus in a healthy, positive way.  We chose the Taekwondo & Hapkido Academy of Chapel Hill because it met all of our criterion.  One of the most positive aspects of the school is that Master Misael and Instructor Jose are wonderful instructors and truly take a genuine interest in the growth and development of their students.  They know how to bring out the best in each of us while keeping the classes fun, engaging, and challenging.  We have seen growth in our children in a variety of areas and are sure to see continued progress through their individual journeys in learning these martial arts...homeschoolers are fortunate to have many amazing academic and enrichment options for our children.  Our experience with the Taekwondo & Hapkido Academy of Chapel Hill is one that will be difficult to match.  This one is a keeper and something we plan to stay with for a long time to come.  It is truly one of those experiences that has had such a positive impact on our family that we want the rest of the homeschool world to know!" Jenny Hartingh
