Life-Kick: Taekwondo for Schools Program

Saturday 10th November 2007

The Life-Kick Taekwondo for Schools Program aims to take Taekwondo into junior and high schools across London and the UK. To roll out Taekwondo as the new national and government supported PE curriculum and use the tenants of integrity, respect, discipline, honour, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit as the building blocks of transformation.

Possibility of the program:
To give our youth a kick start in life and transform them into active, healthy, dynamic and inspired adults.

Mission:
Our mission is to change and save children’s live through the values and philosophies taught through Taekwondo and the Martial Arts.

The program consists of employing Taekwondo coaches, instructors and Olympic athletes into schools as part of a new PE and education program.

Specific goals of the program are to encourage students to resolve conflict productively, avoid participating in gangs, choose drug-free lifestyles, and remain in high school until they graduate.

Taekwondo and Martial Arts training serves simply as the vehicle to instill the values and skills necessary to combat drug and gang-related peer pressures. The core philosophy of Martial Arts stresses the vital importance of a healthy mind and body necessary to lead a productive life.

The Program aims to replace many missing elements of our student's lives including offering a role model, a figure of authority, a chance to set and reach goals, physical and mental conditioning and very importantly, belief in themselves and a feeling of hope for the future.

William Hutchinson Murray
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”
