I wanted to thank everyone for a great year. I truly appreciate that you have helped me create a family martial arts studio. I have seen many of our youngest students improve their confidence, coordination, self esteem and overall attitude to society/people.

I get my greatest thrill in seeing a child develop as a good person with respect and discipline as our foundation. All of our students kicks and punches have improved and I know they are proud of their accomplishments i.e. higher belt rank for our Tae Kwon Do students or better techniques and endurance for our Muay Thai students. However, I truly appreciate their improved development as a human being. Don’t get me wrong I love seeing improved martial arts skills and board breaks.

Our adults continually impress me with their focus and commitment to their physical and mental health that our training provides. I know how the demands in our lives can be difficult but taking care of your health is essential. Our classes have helped many students reduce their stress, feel better about themselves and lose weight.

Enjoy the Holiday Season but remember it is imperative to keep your attendance up during these busy and festive times. We will be here to help you meet your personal goals.

Again, Thank You for training hard and being part of our fitness family.

Sincerely,

Hello CTC Family,

I wanted to speak about the one of our disciplines we offer at Coronado Training Center. Muay Thai also known as Thai Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing or The Art of Eight Limbs is the main martial art practiced in Thailand.

Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand as the country’s national sport. Muay Thai is referred to as the “Science of Eight Limbs”, as hands, knees, shins, and elbows are all used extensively in this sport. A master practioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight “Points of Contact” as opposed to “Two Points”(fists) in Boxing and “Four Points”(fists/feet) in a traditional sport such as Tae Kwon Do.

Muay Thai is often considered a great art form for street self defense. We teach Muay Thai as a sport and for street self defense. In either case, we stress what we teach to be used only in tournaments or real life self defense situations. If we discover what we teach is abused, that student will not be allowed to train at our facility. We teach to respect the Art form and all people. Most of our students train to get in great shape and have fun but competitions are available for our more serious students.

Many parents notice their child’s demeanor improve as well as their overall attitude to school, friends, parents, teachers and siblings.

Sincerely,

Sa Bom Nim/Coach – Dan Boyle

Hello CTC Family,

I wanted to speak about the one of our disciplines we offer at Coronado Training Center. “Tae Kwon Do” is a Traditional Art.

Tae Kwon Do – Early Koreans developed unique martial art forms for unarmed self defense to compliment their skills with weapons. The first recorded evidence of what was to become modern Tae Kwon Do is found over 2,000 years ago. A mural painting depicted martial art techniques on the wall. The early forms of Tae Kwon do were called different names from many dynasty’s. Taekyon was the the dominate Korean Martial art form until the Japanese invasion and occupation in 1909. From 1909 – 1945 the Japanese suppressed Korean culture and martial arts, and introduced Japanese culture and martial arts.

The modern period of Tae Kwon Do began with the defeat of the Japanese and the liberation of Korea in 1945. Korean martial arts masters wanted to eliminate the Japanese influences. They began discussions on how to return to the traditional Taekyon based Korean martial arts and on how to unite the various martial arts schools (or Kwans) and styles into a single style and national sport. After several years of discussions, the name “Taekwondo” was chosen in April 1955 by the board of masters of the various Kwans, and the kwans started to unify through the late 1950s.

1985- Taekwondo adopted as a demonstration sport for the 1988 Olympic Games

Today- Tae Kwon Do is by far the most widely practiced marital art in the world.
