SUCCESSFUL TRAINING


Jung Kwon Martial Arts Academy is a Self-Defense school. We offer our students the chance to compete, for fun. But our technical training is so effective, that our students who do compete, do so in ten different styles of arts!  Most of our students never compete even once, and most teams are usually just 4-6 people.


Keeping that in mind - our members have won over 415 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and trophies, in 5 different US states!

It's not just for kids! Since we don't believe in so-called 'in-house tournaments', we search for legitimate, well-run meets all over the region. As a result, we're able to attend events where adults can compete in a mature setting. Only about a third of our students ever compete, and about half of them are adults.

FREE MULTI-STYLE COMPETITION TRAINING


No student here ever has to compete. But for those who want it - Competition Training, and a Black Belt Coaching Staff to travel with you, are free to all our members.  It's usually way more fun, and exciting, than you expect! ​

HOW DO I BECOME A CHAMPION?


There's no substitute for serious training - and serious attitudes about your training. Sending you off to an event without ensuring you were ready for it would be a violation of integrity, so we won't do it - ever. And there's no magic wand that suddenly creates a champion, it takes work and dedication from you, your instructor and your team-mates. We think you'll like the professional training, the friendly workout partners, and the knowledgeable instructors you'll find here.


It might intimidate you to think of turning yourself into a martial arts champion, it feels like it would be a LOT of painful hard work!


But, guess what? You can't run a 50K your first day as a runner; you can't lift 375 pounds your first day as a weightlifter, you can't score 5 goals on your first day on a soccer field...


You start by running, maybe even just to the mailbox and back. Start by lifting a brick over your head in each hand. Start by kicking a soccer ball into a cardboard box from 10 feet away.  And you build on it from there, little by little. That's how we train you, from easy and simple, and on up from there. When it gets too tough, we teach you to back off and let yourself get caught up. When you're ready, we'll start you at small, local events where we know the organizers and can assure you of a fair and safe competition. As you progress, you set the limits. We'll take you as far as you want to go - maybe farther than you thought you could. And when you get too big for your pants and try to bite off more than you can handle - we'll make sure you don't!


In our school at least, serious competition training is very low-key. We don't run around screaming at you; there are no dumb, useless injuries, and no one goes home mad. Half  the time you won't even realize that you're building your competition skills, just during your regular classes!


At Jung Kwon Academy, competition training looks different every day,  because some competition skills are useful in real-life (reflexes, flexibility, peripheral vision), and some real-life skills are useful in competition ( patience, focus, confidence, endurance)... and we work on all those things every day.
