Chang's Martial Arts

n Sports Management, specializing in Taekwondo. Master Chang is one of the elite few who is not only a Master in the arts of Taekwondo and Yongmoodo, but also has a formal university graduate degree in physical education and teaching. At our school, we teach students that the ultimate goal of martial arts training is continual growth and development – physically, mentally and spiritually. We strongly believe that training in Taekwondo is about much more than just learning to kick, punch and block effectively. It is about making a better life for oneself and by extension, for one’s family and friends. We believe that through the practice of TaeKwonDo, a person can attain happiness and freedom of mind, spirit and body. At the core of our philosophy is that we must take proper care of our bodies and minds. In order to advance as martial artists, we must practice Taekwondo. However, it is essential to incorporate quiet time, proper diet and hydration, and rest. We must also think positively, avoid speaking negatively at all times and serve others. By practicing these things daily to keep our bodies, minds, and spirits in good health, we will begin to increase our positive energy. We remind students that internal change (eliminating bad habits) is never swift and will not be as recognizable as the external changes the body shows from the physical training that occurs. Yet the internal changes are more important and are absolutely essential to succeed as a Taekwondo practitioner. At Grandmaster Chang’s Taekwondo, we emphasize the importance of ALWAYS doing your best and trying to do and be better. Mistakes are not bad. Mistakes are an essential component of life and learning. At the school, students are not competing against students. We teach it’s more important to initiate and activate the challenge within by always doing your personal best – day by day, moment-by-moment.
