You may not know Tae Kwon Do, but the youth in the After School Program do. Tae Kwon Do is one of the new and exciting sessions being offered in the After School Program, it is held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30pm. Eddie L. Murphy is the instructor of this class, Mr. Murphy is a six degree black belt certified instructor, and is the owner of Murphy’s ATA Taekwondo Center. One of Mr. Murphy’s missions is to always strive to provide the best in quality of instruction, both physically and mentally.
He believes in teaching those physical techniques that prove to be most practical in our society and even more importantly, to mix American philosophical approach with our traditional way of instruction… to be respectful, courteous, honest, loyal, and persevering.
In learning Tae Kwon Do, the youth are developing primary goals on a daily basis, because it is necessary to develop a positive structure and pledge around which to build their character. The brains of youth emit good information when programmed properly. The alternative is “garbage in, garbage out”.
The youth think this is a cool class, not only do they have another gym class during the day, but they can learn different karate techniques that they can show off to their friends.
So does Bo know Tae kwon do? If not, he can attend one of the sessions at Agape. Call 414.464.4440 and ask for the details.
