Dear Parents:
My name is Seung Dong. For over 38 years in the USA, I have dedicated my life to helping
children develop the life strategies necessary to become successful adults. Please feel free to explore my credentials and schools throughout this site, but first, let me tell you how my school can empower your child with the ability to control his or her own destiny with unstoppable determination.
Many young children have difficulty paying attention, following directions and being courteous. As children mature, they must overcome other challenges -- stress over school work, insecurities about physical appearance and strength, peer pressure from friends. If it is difficult for you to watch your child struggle with some of these issues, imagine how difficult it is for your child to feel insecure about them. And, like most of us, it is even more difficult for a child to talk about those feelings of inadequacy. So if your son or daughter cannot or would not talk about those feelings, the question becomes -- how can you help your child overcome those self-doubts and fears?
I have the answer. Our Children's Program has helped thousands of children overcome those same fears. No other sport can match martial arts when it comes to building strong character qualities and self-confidence. In fact, I am so sure that our Children's Program will help your child become a positive, successful person that I will let your son or daughter experience it for FREE, with absolutely no obligation. Let me give you an example of how it works. . .
You may be wondering what all this talk of character values has to do with the punching, kicking and board breaking in Tae Kwon Do. Be assured that we do teach martial arts and your child will learn how to defend himself or herself. But martial arts is not about being able to beat up the school bully -- it is about conquering the bully of self-doubt that lives within us. It is only when our minds are free of negative thought and judgment that we can know things as they truly are. As your child uses the discipline of martial arts to advance his abilities, he will find that he can transfer that discipline to other challenges in life. As he becomes more confident, he will learn to stop fighting himself. He will learn to recognize and accept his inner strength and come to master it.
If you still have doubts about whether this will work for your child, here is what other students and parents have to say...

"Aside from what I saw on television and in movies, I never really knew much about martial arts. I had heard that it was good for kids, but I didn't understand how. But, after watching my son, Matt, struggle and become disappointed in other sports, we decided to give Dong's Karate a try. I can't believe the remarkable difference it has made in Matt's outlook on life. He has gone from a shy, awkward kid to an outgoing, confident one and I am grateful that Grand Master Dong and his instructors showed him the way. He says he wants to be President someday! I have no doubt that he will achieve anything he sets his sights on thanks to the discipline that he's learned through martial arts."

"Jenny was never really interested in organized sports like her friends. She said she didn't like to play games because she felt bad when she lost. So she preferred to waste away the days in front of the television and it was a struggle just to get her to pick up after herself. Then we began taking martial arts lessons at Dong's as a family activity. She was discouraged at first, saying it was too hard. With patience and encouragement from Dong's instructors, she began to learn the basics and soon we noticed that she wasn't complaining about attending class anymore -- in fact, she was asking to go more frequently! What a change in Jenny! Now, she likes to compete because she says it shows her how much she has improved. And she's not afraid to lose anymore because she knows she can win if she works hard enough for it."

Grand
Master Dong’s life time of training and 38 years of
teaching experience in the United States results in a
proven system which can benefit everyone no matter what
their age or physical condition as long as you have a
desire to learn. It builds physical strength,
flexibility and cardio vascular endurance by starting
you slowly as a beginner and increasing your ability
over time at your own pace. These changes will improve
your focus, increase your confidence, and build energy
with a positive attitude which will improve your
productivity at home, work, in your social community,
and promote a greater sense of well being.
Grand
Master Dong’s system is based on a philosophy of action.
It is designed to improve your physical condition to the
best it can be. At the same time we try to grow our mind
and create balance between a mature mind and body.
Continuous training brings positive energy. This
condition of mature mind and strong body results in a
strong spirit and a peaceful life.
Self-Defense
Being able to defend yourself is great, but learning how in a
safe, fun, and controlled environment fosters s true
sense of accomplishment, self confidence, and comrodory.
The team at Grand Master Dong’s proven system is
committed to bring you great defense techniques in a
school where you will meet and work with like minded
martial artists. Our curriculum includes Tae Kwon Do,
Ta Kyuk Do (designed for very practical self defense),
Kum Do (Korean style sword) and Hap Ki Do. Some of our
students have successfully used these techniques in real
life threatening situations. We hope that you will never
have to use them just like the best swordsman who never
has to draw his blade to solve the problem. Our goal is
to practice mental self defense in our daily lives.
Well Being
People who work out on a regular basis are more likely to
remain calm in situations that would have otherwise
triggered a stress response. Exercise can also ward off
depression or anxiety disorders. The more you exercise
the more you can jumpstart the brain and in many
instances end the cycle of worry, anxiety and
depression.
When coming to train at our school, most people expect the
self-defense and fitness part of their classes. What
students are not expecting is the mental training and
stress relief from available in our program. You can
arrive at the Do Jang (the place of practice the Do)
feeling completely stressed wondering how you found the
time and energy just to walk through the door, but when
you leave, you can’t imagine why you thought of not
coming, as you will go home with the energy to
accomplish so much more. Our goal is for you to enjoy
life and have true harmony of body, mind and spirit,
therefore reaching your maximum ability. This allows you
to share with others and results in a peaceful life with
much succes
