| Nokomis Martial Arts offers Tae Kwon Do classes for Youth and Adults ages 6 to 60+ through the Minneapolis Park system. Classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday Nights at the Lake Hiawatha Recreation Center 44 street & 28th ave. So, Minneapolis. All Nokomis Martial Arts classes are taught by Kukkiwon certified Black Belt Instructors and all color Belt Testing is conducted by Kukkiwon certified 4th degree master instructors John Klun and Chris Redhead. All Nokomis Martial Arts belt ranks are recognized by the WTF and the IBBF and will be considered valid at any IBBF affiliated Tae Kwon Do school or event. Nokomis Martial Arts teaches "traditional" tae kwon do versus "sport" tae kwon do. Studies have shown that sport tae kwon do can increase aggressive behavior and diminish discipline in some students. When the emphasis is placed too heavily on winning, the true meaning of the art can be lost. Traditional tae kwon do stresses the qualities of courtesy, integrity, self control, perseverance and indomitable spirit. Through physical conditioning and self defense training, students learn self confidence. They discover that they don't have to fight to prove their worth, they only fight in self defense. |
