"As the great-grandmother of a 7 year old boy who commenced his education at the age of 2, I can provide my personal appreciation and opinion regarding his accomplishments. I am particularly fond of Tae Kwon Do practices due to the following reasons: They instill values and skills in children and young adults. They benefit their physical and mental development. They enhance muscle and bone strength, posture, balance, concentration, confidence, and self-esteem. They learn to manage their self-discipline, respect, teamwork, and perseverance. Each promotion to a new belt fosters a passion in them to improve every day."
