Midwest Academy of Taekwon Do Develop a higher level of self-confidence, build self-esteem, and learn how to accept and successful

The purpose of this program is to give both children and adults from the community an opportunity to train in the martial art of TaeKwon-Do. By training in the martial arts a person will develop a higher level of self-confidence, build self-esteem, and learn how to accept and successfully meet new challenges, get into or stay in top physical condition, and learn an invaluable method of self-defense. TaeKwon-Do literally translated means the “art of hand and foot fighting”. But the martial arts are much more than learning how to fight and defend yourself. TaeKwon-Do will build strong mental and physical disciplines and help develop setting goals (working for and achieving higher rank). The students will develop a better sense of self worth and this is so critical in this day and age to try to keep our children safe and out of harms way.

This past weekend, we had the incredible honor of performing a demonstration for Grandmaster Valin’s instructor, Dr. Youstra, 9th Dan.

Dr. Youstra was a direct student of General Choi Hong Hi and has spent decades sharing his passion, knowledge, and dedication to the art with generations of martial artists.

Even today, Dr. Youstra continues to share his knowledge with us—and he even had a few techniques to demonstrate for our students during the demo!

We truly wouldn’t be where we are today without his teachings, guidance, and influence. It was an incredible honor to have the opportunity to demonstrate for him and, in a small way, show him the results of everything he has helped pass down through the years.

We are incredibly grateful for his continued mentorship and for the opportunity to learn from a true legend in the art.
