WELCOME TO SIDEKICKS SCHOOL OF MARTIAL ARTS
BURLINGTON'S FIRST CHOICE IN MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTION

TAEKWON DO

Translated Literally:
"TAE" stands for jumping or flying to kick with the FOOT.
" KWON" stands for punching with the HAND or FIST.
"DO" Means an Art or Way.

Collectively, Taekwon-Do, or Korean Karate, 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 to the rapid destruction of the moving opponent or opponents.

Our adult Taekwon Do program is the only traditional Taekwon Do program in the area. Our lineage goes directly back to Grandmaster Choi, the founder of our art.

We practice the traditional or International version of Taekwon Do. This version of Taekwon Do was created for self defense as well as body, mind and spirit improvement. Unlike the sport version of Taekwon Do, the traditional art is devastatingly brutal as well as strikingly beautiful.

Our Adult program has also added the joint locking, grappling and throwing aspects of Jiu Jitsu to help enhance our training

You may ask yourself "why should I try this type of martial art over all the other ones?"

There are many reasons why we feel that Taekwon Do may be right for you. Here are a few:

PHYSICAL CONDITIONING

You can expect major changes in your body with our classes. You'll burn calories, build muscle, and kick your metabolism into high gear. Our work-outs are a great way to help you shed those unwanted pounds. Additionally, you will reshape your body. Your arms, legs, and waistline are going to become more toned. . .stick with it long enough and you may even develop those six pack abs everyone longs for!

Taekwon Do will dramatically improve your cardiovascular health. Your resting heart rate will come down and your ability to maintain an increased heart rate will increase. You will breathe better, sleep better, and even feel an increase in energy and effectiveness all day long. You may even discover that you are more resistant to colds and flu. If you do become sick, your recovery time will be better than ever.

MOTIVATIONAL

Our instructors are positive and inspirational. We will keep you motivated and thinking about progress and goals. Our staff and students are all success oriented and focused on looking for the good in all situations. You can expect to go home from class with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

CONFIDENCE

Studies have shown that adults who take Taekwon Do develop better self-confidence. You will be encouraged to take chances and to push yourself further than you ever thought possible. The success you experience through our program teaches you to be successful at anything if you truly believe in yourself. Improved confidence leads to better performance at work, a better circle of friends, better performance in sports and in extracurricular activities in general. Your improved self-confidence will help you deal with all of life's challenges with a more positive outlook.

SELF DEFENSE

Taekwon Do teaches two forms of self-defense. One is physical - you will improve your strength, flexibility, and overall health. Additionally, you will learn to strike with tremendous power and effectiveness. Hopefully, you will never need to fight. . .but should the occasion arise, shouldn't everyone know how to protect themselves? The second form of self-defense you learn is internal. Taekwon Do students learn to spot danger and avoid dangerous people, places and activities. The lessons at Sidekicks School of Martial Arts can help you avoid the need for a physical confrontation. This second form of self-defense is perhaps the more valuable of the two.

Quick start program

We have made it very easy for you to decide if the martial arts are for you. The best way to decide if the martial arts are right for you is to try it, without the pressure to join. Our quick start program is your best option. It includes two classes and a uniform for $19.95. At the end of your trial, if you did not enjoy it, there is no obligation to join. However, if you did enjoy it (and we know you will.) There is a reason why our programs are so popular and now you have started on the path to a better you!
