Triple Black Belt Academy was honored to receive the Outstanding School of the Year award at the 10th Annual He-Young Kimm Cup International Han Mu Do Championships held on the Copiah-Lincoln Community College campus in Wesson, MS on March 24, 2007.  This award was presented to Instructor Michelle and Chief Instructor Clay Cheroni (not present was Junior Instructor Danaher Broom).    The Outstanding School of the Year Award decision was based on the students overall performance, their sportsmanship and TBBA's turnout at the tournament.  It was the overall performance of the whole group that won the award.   We, the instructors at Triple Black Belt Academy, would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to our students and their families.  Without our students, we would not have had the opportunity to receive this award.

We will teach our students with the same high standards that we ourselves were taught with.  The martial art style that we will be teaching is Han Mu Do.  Han Mu Do is a traditional Korean martial art that was founded by Dr. He-Young Kimm in 1989.  Dr. Kimm created Han Mu Do after more than forty years of accumulating knowledge and training in the Korean martial arts systems.  A true martial arts scholar, he sought to integrate the techniques and philosophies of these styles into a single comprehensive balanced system.  For a detailed history of Han Mu Do, please visit the World Han Mu Do Association website at http://www.hanmudo.com

Why Take Martial Arts?

                               

          If you were to ask martial arts students why they take martial arts, you would undoubtedly hear many different answers.  The popularity of martial arts is due to the many  benefits of being involved in martial arts training.  Each of the martial arts students  may start out looking for a certain benefit, but in the end, the students discover that they are gaining so much more than the original benefit intended.

 

 

            Respect:  One of the most famous of benefits of martial arts training is to learn respect.  Respect of those with greater knowledge and experience.  Respect of elders.  Respect of individuals.  The martial arts lead to greater self-respect in the student.  Self-respect is the basic stepping stone for respect for all other living things.

 

            Social Skills:  Children who participate in the martial arts will have positive interaction with other children.  The martial arts environment is one that promotes the spirit of comradeship.   Students in the martial arts are taught to get along with others, to respect others and never to be abusive or offensive.  Martial arts training builds character  in the student.    Self-confidence and enthusiasm for your own life is gained.    A new attitude is born.

 

           Self-Defense:  Through Martial Arts training you not only learn how to cope with confrontations, but also how to avoid confrontations using your common sense, proper body language and street smarts.  Martial Arts training builds coordination, balance, control and fitness.

 

            Mental Discipline:  Having mental discipline affects your attitude and the decisions you make in life.  Martial arts can teach you how to relax, focus and maintain your control when life becomes difficult.  The martial arts encourage students to practice good behavior skills and to set good examples for others.  Children with strong mental discipline are least likely to be susceptible to peer pressure anxieties, while adults learn to manage stress levels brought on by life’s pressures. 

 

            Better School Grades:  The martial arts helps to develop memory skills and responsibility.  A reward system will encourage Academic Achievement and goal setting.  Students will learn better self-discipline , self-confidence, respect and to focus their attention. 

 

                        FUN:  And of course, let's not forget about FUN !!!  Martial arts training is a physical activity that allows the student to have fun while getting a work out both mentally and physically.    Martial arts training helps the student feel the stress melt away.  There is success to be  found even for those with no experience. 

 

 

We hope you will find the information you are looking for on this site. We look forward to working with you.
