About A Chat with Beyond Sports Taekwondo

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We offer a quality Taekwondo program with strong self defense, but while we love kicking & punching, these are just the medium that allows us to teach our core values of Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, & Indomitable Spirit, all of which lead to creating strong, healthy individuals.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Our founder worked with at-risk teens for a number of years, & while helping these kids was very fulfilling, she wished she could teach them the life skills they needed before the hard choices came. When she found Taekwondo she fell in love and knew that this was the answer to that wish.

What do you love most about your job?
I love teaching people how to do hard things & how to be successful. This includes teaching them how to get back up when they fall, or how to stay true even when it's hard. The best is when they get to Black Belt. It makes such a difference in how they see themselves, & I love seeing the change.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
I have so many thank you notes from successful Black Belt testers, but perhaps my favorite is from a young boy who gave us a fish named "Hardcore," after that year's Black Belt Testing theme. Hardcore now reins at the front desk in our studio. :)
