Less Physical Activity in school may cause students to pursue after school activities

Many U.S. students engage in less physical activity throughout the school day.

The Institute of Medicine released a report in 2013 that estimated only about half of young people in the U.S. meet current guidelines of at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily. Many students are leading a more sedentary lifestyle as several individuals rely on non-active transportation. Additionally, numerous schools have eliminatedphysical education classes and recess because of other educational demands and tough financial times, USA Today reported. The No Child Left Behind legislation in 2001 requested more time is devoted to subjects such as reading and math. Between 2001 and 2006, the percentage of U.S. schools that offered PE daily significantly declined. In fact, 44 percent of school administrators cut time for PE and recess.

With more inactivity, the report says the U.S. Education Department should make PE a core subject, just like math and English. Parents and teachers also want health and physical education to be a mandatory part of the school day, according to a Kidhealth in the Classroom online survey. Mary L. Gavin, MD, KidsHealth medical editor and president of the Delaware chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics says kids who are physically active do better in school. The report also indicated that a lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, hypertension and other diseases. 

Since many schools are not providing 60 minutes of vigorous or moderate-intensity exercise daily, it makes sense for students to engage in physical activity at the end of the school day such as martial arts. This form of exercise can also improve a student's performance in school and increase attention span. 

Martial arts has the ability to address all of these issues, while building a student's self esteem and confidence.

Martial Art Mentors help students succeed

Mentors can make a big difference in the lives of young adults. People with mentors, specifically at-risk youth, have promising visions of their futures, achieve better outcomes in the workplace, at school and in their communities. They are also more likely to engage in positive behavior. Mentors can help mentees reach their potential and achieve their dreams in every area of life.

"Developing relationships with caring and supportive adults through mentoring is a key tool through which we can help these young people achieve their dreams," said Melody Barnes, chair of Aspen Forum for Community Solutions, in the MENTOR: National Mentoring Partnership's "The Mentoring Effect: Young People's Perspective on the Outcomes and Availability of Mentoring" report. "The promise of a generation depends on our efforts to reconnect these young people to education and career opportunities."

The definition of a mentor
Forbes indicated a mentor is one who possesses wisdom to guide mentees on their paths to success. Mentees can reveal their more vulnerable feelings about their fears, hopes and dreams. Mentors will listen, be a sounding board and help individuals in the next steps. A mentee in Forbes' article mentioned that he wouldn't be where he is today without a strong role model. He came to the realization of how crucial it was for him to have a mentor in his life. 

Federal Library and Information Center Committee stated a good coach is one who communicates optimism, offers constructive feedback and motivates others by leading by example. They have integrity, share insights on past experiences and teach mentees topics not learned in a traditional classroom.

The Mentoring Effect's report also defined a mentor as one who builds a relationship with an individual and provides support and encouragement to assist young adults' healthy development over a duration of time.

Adolescents with mentors benefit society
"I believe so strongly in the power of mentoring because I know the transformative effect one caring adult can have on a child's life," said Alma J . Powell, chair of America's Promise Alliance in the Mentoring Effect report. "That caring adult is a gateway to all the other resources that young person needs to fulfill their potential."

Mentorship is so beneficial that it significantly impacts communities. According to the Mentoring Effect's study, for every dollar invested in mentoring programs, there is at least a $3 return in benefits to society.

Mentors help students achieve in the academic and social spheres
The report shows how mentors support individuals' academic aspirations. In fact, 76 percent of at-risk youth who had mentors plan to enroll in college and graduate versus 56 percent who didn't have a mentor. Aside from those who aspire to attend college, 45 percent who had a mentor are enrolled versus 29 percent who lack mentors.

Given these statistics, it's crucial for martial arts instructors to take on this role. High-risk adolescents who have mentors are also more likely to participate in extracurricular activities and sports. Martial arts teachers who support their students may contribute to their decisions to stick with the sport. When adolescents engage in beneficial activities, they are more likely to develop higher self-esteem and self-confidence. All of these traits help a student succeed in martial arts class and beyond. The list goes on because those with mentors are 51 percent more likely to hold a leadership position in a group as opposed to 22 percent who progress through their lives without mentors.

Martial arts instructors should stand by students' sides outside of class
Instructors don't have to serve the role as a mentor just in the classroom. They can also support young adults' aspirations in any area of their lives. In addition, even after students choose a different path and end their martial arts career, it's best for instructors to keep in touch with their former students. The duration of mentoring relationships matter. According to the report, mentoring relationships that lasted more than a year are 67 percent more likely to find their mentoring connection helpful versus only 33 percent if the time spent lasted less than a year.

Mentors impact mentees' well-being
Another report, "The Role of Risk: Mentoring Experiences and Outcomes for Youth with Varying Risk Profiles," which was sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, demonstrated those with mentors show fewer depressive symptoms, better grades in school and more positive beliefs about their ability to succeed academically. Findings indicated this relationship supported adolescents' emotional and psychological well-being.

What martial arts instructors can do
Martial arts instructors should ask students open-ended questions, according to Blue Sky Coaching. Mentees will have the opportunity to express their values and passion. This is an ideal way to get students to reflect on their needs to be successful in martial arts, academically and emotionally. After listening to students' answers, mentors can share their wisdom and experience, provide a fresh perspective and acknowledge their achievements.

When teachers in martial arts school follow these suggestions, they can play a major role in students' aspirations.

Good Afternoon,

It’s here, RANK EXAM WEEK ! Regular Classes Monday thru Friday this week!
We have a week every two months where our schedule is adjusted to hold our testing. That week will be this Saturday thru next Tuesay.

TESTING DETAILS
UNIFORMS: Uniform cannot be rolled up and must be hemmed to fit correctly! No Wrinkles!!!

EXPECTATIONS: We just want 100% you! Be focused, answer loud, run fast and give it all you got! 

WHAT IF I DO NOT PASS MY TEST? It would be easy to pass all of our students at testing but then your rank would be meaningless! Students who do not pass will re-test in 2 months at our next exam. Due to not passing, there will be no fee for your next test. There are no refunds for not passing. Just like no one can win every football game, soccer match or spelling bee, no one should expect to pass every TaeKwonDo exam. Not passing simply means the judging panel thinks you need two more months to refine some of the elements of your training. Of course getting a re-test is disappointing! But, if you get a re-test, accept the judging panel’s decision that you need more time to mature in that rank and commit yourself (not your parents or instructor) to work harder to be ready for the next test. We are committed to helping you obtain your goals! Be glad that your instructors care enough about you to help you reach your full potential.

Parents, we are so thankful for you referring your friends to the academy. We are opening up registration for the fall/back to school season.

History of Tiger-Rock Martial Arts

History Our Past to Our Present

The martial arts have grown out of a human need for self-defense and strengthening the spirit. While Westerners tend to think of martial arts as Eastern, there are paintings on the tombs in Egypt dating back to 3000 B.C. demonstrating hand-and-foot fighting. From another Western cultural center of the ancient world, the Greek philosopher Plato mentions skiamachia, fighting without an opponent (analogous to our Taekwondo forms), combining skills from boxing and wrestling so that the whole body is used as a weapon.

Tiger-Rock Martial Arts recognizes Taekwondo, Korean in origin, as the preeminent martial art, an unequaled method of unarmed self-defense that is also highly artistic in its execution. Taekwondo techniques evolved over thousands of years to attain the greatest speed, power and artistic beauty.

The history of Taekwondo began roughly ten thousand years ago when the ancestors of the Korean people migrated from Central Asia to the peninsula that is now Korea. They relied mainly on hunting to survive, climbing rugged mountains, crossing strong rivers, and traveling along the seashore in their search for food. These rigors developed strong bodies, superior fighting skills, and a sense of teamwork. Historians theorize that, upon their return, the hunters would reenact their motions of kicking, punching, stabbing, and throwing, also recreating fighting scenes with neighboring tribes with whom they had fought during the hunt. A natural outgrowth of reenactments was practicing movements in order to refine and perfect the techniques and their skills. Eventually these techniques grew into martial arts.

Formal martial arts training in Korea began approximately 4,000 years ago, consisting of running (daligi), throwing (dunjiki), punching or striking (jileuki), kicking (balchaki) and swimming (soo young). Weapons were also employed and included the stone knife (dolkal), stone spear (dolchang), stones for throwing (doldunjiki), sand spreading (moraisul), and wooden pole (mok bong sul). Eventually, archery and horseback riding were incorporated.

In the 6th century A.D., the Silla Dynasty ruled the smallest of the three kingdoms of Korea and was under constant attack from its neighbors. During the reign of the twenty-fourth king of Silla, the young aristocrats and warriors formed an elite corps called the Hwa Rang Do. To guide themselves and give a purpose to their knighthood, they adopted a five-point code of conduct set forth by their greatest monk and scholar, Wan Kany: 1) loyalty to one's country, 2) loyalty to one's parents, 3) trust and brotherhood among friends, 4) courage never to retreat in the face of one's enemies, and 5) justice never to take a life without cause. These students were also required to learn and live by the following Hwa Rang Do Nine Virtues: humanity, courtesy, trust and friendship, goodness, loyalty, honor, knowledge, courage, and conscience. The Hwa Rang Do warriors became known for their courage and skill in battle, gaining respect from even their bitterest foes. From their victories, the Korean Peninsula was united.

Taekwondo warriors were taught to keep their minds and bodies in balance. They were taught to read and write and studied literature, painting, sculpture, dance, and musical instruments. The moo kwa (national examination for military officials) consisted of an actual martial arts contest and tests covering theory and strategy. The moo kwa produced military officials with both fighting knowledge and a good classical education. Tiger-Rock echoes the ancient emphasis on mental development with our required reading lists for rank and certification candidates, ensuring that our leaders gain greater insight through literature pertaining to the human experience. In the past, Taekwondo artists were known to be the kingdom or community members with the greatest skill and knowledge. They were expected to dedicate themselves to continuous training of the mind, body, and spirit (ki). This expectation continues today in the Tiger-Rock essence and philosophy.

During the Koguryo Dynasty, martial arts flourished. However, by the Yi Dynasty, an anti-military posture was taken, debasing anything martial. The final blow was delivered by the Japanese occupation of Korea (1909 – 1945) when it was forbidden to practice any form of martial arts. However, Taek Kyon was secretly practiced and passed on to a handful of students. (Some Tiger-RockGrand Masters and Instructors have been fortunate enough to receive formal training in Korea at the Taek Kyon Headquarters.) With the liberation of Korea in 1945 came the freedom to again openly practice martial arts. All of the present day Taekwondo Instructors can trace their origins to one of five Kwans: Chung Do Kwan, Song Moo Kwan, Ji Do Kwan, Moo Do Kwan, and Chang Moo Kwan.

The Tiger-Rock Martial Arts can trace its roots directly to Grand Master Won-kuk Lee, who founded Chung Do Kwan and developed the largest civilian gym, the Gym of the Blue Wave. Grand Master Won-kuk Lee is thus the first to organize and found modern Korean Taekwondo. (A delegation of Tiger-Rock Masters and Instructors were honored to attend G.M. Won-kuk Lee’s last formal seminar in 2002 prior to his death at age 96 in 2003.) As the new Republic of Korea (ROK) Armed Forces became organized, Choi Hong Hi, an officer in this army, began to teach martial arts to his soldiers. Chung Do Kwan’s was the largest and the only gym whose ranks were recognized by General Choi when civilians became soldiers. Following years of research and development by General Choi, the Chang Hun style of Taekwondo, named for General Choi’s pseudonym, was developed. On April 11th, 1955, a board of instructors from the different Kwans, historians, and other prominent persons selected Tae-Kwon-Do (foot – hand – art) as the new name of the national martial art of Korea.

After 10,000 years, this Korean martial art has reached full maturity, developing from tribal dances of the hunt to an art form practiced in more than sixty countries by millions of students. This combination of classical techniques and new modifications has resulted in a form of self-defense and mental conditioning unrivaled in the modern world. As General Choi Hong Hi said, “TaeKwonDo indicates the mental training and the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defense as well as health, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks, and dodges with bare hands and feet…enabling the weak to possess a fine weapon together with the confidence to defend him or herself, and defeat the opponent.”

Tiger-Rock Martial Arts continues to preserve the historic traditions of Taekwondo first conceived 4,000 years ago by early artists, and recently revised by General Choi. Tiger-Rock acknowledges Grand Master Won-kuk Lee, the founder of Chung Do Kwan, as the beginning influence from which we came. Grand Master Lee was the teacher of many students who eventually assumed major positions within the martial arts community. Grand Master Lee said that students must never forget to appreciate their teachers. At the same time, students should always strive to have better techniques and higher moral characters than their teachers. Grandmaster Lee compared this idea to an old saying: "The color green comes from the color blue, but the green color is brighter than the blue. The ice comes from water, but ice is colder than water." In other words, the student is always better than his teacher. He believed that the martial arts will have a bright future if students live by these ideas. When a student does become better than his teacher, he must always remain humble and never forget to appreciate the techniques and moral code that he learned from his teacher. Once a student becomes a master, he should not forget that his position was a joint effort of both his and his teacher's sweat. Without the teacher, he could never have reached the level of master, just as there could be no ice without water and no green color without blue.

Tiger-Rock pledges itself to contributing to the art of Taekwondo, providing leadership and instruction in an ancient discipline that represents an alternative allowing practitioners to avoid the stresses and pitfalls of life in this modern age. This can be accomplished by teaching practitioners to strengthen their minds and bodies through regular Taekwondo training and to impact society honorably. This mission will be undertaken within the guidelines of our tenets: Honor, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Courage, Community, Strength, Humility, and Knowledge.

The Grand Masters, Senior Masters, Masters, Instructors, and Black Belts Tiger-Rock Martial Arts are grateful to all who have pioneered Taekwondo. In particular we are grateful to Grand Master Won-kuk Lee, General Choi Hong Hi, Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee, Dr. He-Young Kimm, Grand Master Art Monroe, Grand Master Craig Kollars, and Grand Master Bert Kollars. Tiger-Rock recognizes their contribution. Artistically, we know that our curriculum, vision, systems and physical movements are unique.  We believe separate, mutually respectful, authentic styles of Taekwondo artists help preserve the diversity and original artistic nature of Taekwondo.  Tiger-Rock believes all martial arts programs and martial artists that commit to authentic training and lifestyle have merit.

Man loses 17 pounds during major holidays through Tiger-Rock Training Programs

For Mr. Kevin Sacco and many people in Knoxville, TN, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are a wonderful time to spend with families with great food, family fun, and laughter. However, many people during the holidays typically over indulge, and therefore creates New Years resolutions come January.
Yet, for Mr. Kevin Sacco the holidays were a rewarding experience for him after losing over 17 pounds from November to February. According to Sacco, "I'm not on a diet....I do not try to continuously watch what I eat." Mr. Sacco participates in Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of West Knoxville's Kisado Fitness and Adult TaeKwonDo training programs as his source of exercise. One of Tiger-Rock's professional trainers and manager of the academy, Mr. Scott Bailey, described Mr. Sacco's success as a "home run," and a testament to his hard work and dedication.
"Mr. Sacco is a truly hard working individual, and as a professional trainer, when an adult student steps onto the scale, and is surprised at the amount of weight they have lost, it continues to inspire the trainers and other students around them. It is truly amazing." For Mr. Sacco, he was truly astonished at the amount of weight he lost through the holidays and into the new year. "The only other thing I have done is stopped drinking soda products. I had to look twice to make sure the scale was right." Mr. Sacco typically attends the Tiger-Rock's training programs 2-3 days per week for one or one and a half hour training sessions.
Mr. Bailey also explains Tiger-Rock's success compared to a typical gym. "In most gyms, participants are there working out by themselves, requiring adults to have self-motivation. However, self-motivation typically ends with excuses and the New Years resolution going down the drain. With Tiger-Rock's training systems, students gain comradery with other adult students while getting a great workout; most students don't even realize the intensity of the workout, and the muscle groups they are using.....at least not until the next day," He says with a smile.

CONGRATULATIONS MR. KEVIN SACCO. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
