Body & Mind in the Martial Art of Tae Kwon Do in the Michigan American Tae Kwon Do Academy
"As a long-time student and Instructor in the American Taekwondo Academy, I have personally seen the benefits to both mind and body. Over the years I have been most impressed with our youth in the Academy, manor of who have earned Black Belts. The discipline and perseverance they demonstrate in the martial arts are often overshadowed by the courtesy and integrity they practice both in and out of class. While the young students often begin the class as a family activity, it has been very rewarding to see so many continue th journey and mature into young respectful adults" Master Daryl Steward- 7th Degree ATA Black Belt
