The average person is not aware of the differences between the many styles of martial arts. Tae Kwon Do is both a traditional Eastern martial art and a modern-day Olympic sport, distinguished by the speed, power, and precision of its kicks. Like most martial arts programs, there is a strong focus on self-control, perseverance, and self-defense that lead to improved confidence in the practitioner. It is the world’s most popular martial art, practices by over 70 million people training in more than 150 countries. Regardless of your current size, shape, or conditioning level, Tae Kwon Do will take you to higher levels, help you to achieve your personal best, have fun and learn valuable life skills all at the same time. Tae Kwon Do is one of the more appropriate martial arts for children. There are no punches to the face, knee strikes, or grappling. Participants are fully padded when sparring. LUPO TKD will facilitate the USAT program at The Horsham Athletic Club. LUPO TKD CEO, Robert Fox said, “Tae Kwon Do is an activity that parents and children can do together. Why drop the kids off or watch and wait when you can get in there and have fun with them? Families can practice at home, and there is always something to talk about at the dinner table.” Doug Steinly, President of the Horsham Athletic Club said, “People come to the Horsham Athletic Club because they seek a premier health club experience. Our customers expect the finest equipment, top-notch service, and highly-trained personal trainers. LUPO TKD fits our model for excellence. Their program at the Newtown Athletic Club was among the nation’s Top 5 schools at the 2010 Junior Olympics in Orlando. We want to offer that kind of experience to our customers.” Special classes will be available for children on the Autistic Spectrum, who often do not do as well with traditional team sports where communication and social skills take more focus. Trial classes can be scheduled by calling Robert Fox at (717) 469-LUPO (5876) or by stopping by the Horsham Athletic Club.
