Maum Sin Yong Taekwon-do

Message to the Parents

Thank you for entrusting the MSY program with the honor of teaching Taekwon-do to your child. We take this honor very seriously and take great pride in teaching Taekwon-do to the younger generations in our community.

We do not teach a strict Eastern philosophy but we do instruct the students in proper etiquette and expect the student to show proper respect for their instructors, fellow students and their community.

We will teach the students and require them to memorize the student oath, the tenets of Taekwon-do and their respective pattern histories all of which are deeply rooted in Korean philosophies and the history of the Korean peninsula.

We have experienced over the years that children whom study Taekwon-do two hours a week starting at age five are able to concentrate on tasks for extended periods of time. The children typically have a high sense of self confidence which helps the child to tackle life's challenges. The children typically have usable social skills and can communicate well with peers as well as adults.

We hope that your experience with the MSY program and your child's are both enjoyable and challenging both physically as well as mentally.

Parents are also encouraged to study Taekwon-do along side their child. It helps the child if the parent can practice at home and the child typically looks to the parent as a role model. What better way to bond with your child than to both tackle the challenge of learning Taekwon-do together?

A note on the requirements of being an instructor. Instructors at the MSY program are required to be CPR certified as well as proficient in the teaching of Taekwon-do as judged by the senior instructors of the MSY program. Many of the instructors at the MSY program provide their valuable instruction skills as volunteers, still others are paid for their expertise. Make no mistake about the quality of instruction. Every instructor at MSY is a dedicated martial artist with a deep desire to pass this art down to whomever is motivated to learn it.

Instructors creed: Be the eternal teacher who teaches with the body when young, with words when old, and by moral precept even after death.

Thank you very much for your time,
Sincerely, The MSY Staff
