"Five and a half years ago at the playground Keegan spotted a bunch of kids from a taekwondo summer camp. Curious as ever, he went over and talked to them and thus began our journey with taekwondo. Our family has been changed in countless positive ways by taekwondo. Most of the friends we've made after we moved were made through our involvement with taekwondo and now they're like family. My kids have learned lessons in perseverance, self-control, respect, kindness, hard work and resilience."

As the summer sun blazes and temperatures soar past 100°F, many people slow down, retreat indoors, and postpone their goals. But inside our dojang, something extraordinary is happening where young martial artists are pushing past the heat, staying focused, and showing a level of discipline that inspires us all.
Summer is not a time to pause training; it's a time to grow.
1. Building Discipline in Adverse Conditions
Training in Taekwondo in the summer teaches our students more than just technique. It instills perseverance, grit, and mental strength. When it’s hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable, choosing to keep going is a powerful act of discipline. That mindset is what builds champions not just in sport, but in life.
2. Strengthening the Body When It’s Most Challenged
Hot weather tests the body’s endurance. With proper hydration and safety measures, training in the summer helps condition the body to adapt under pressure. Flexibility improves, stamina builds, and the immune system strengthens. Physical progress continues when others might take a break.
3. Preventing Summer Learning Loss
During school breaks, many children lose the structure and routine that help them grow. Taekwondo fills that gap. Our classes keep students mentally engaged, socially connected, and physically active. It gives them a reason to wake up, move, and challenge themselves every day.
4. Real Passion Shines in the Heat
What moved us most this week was watching our students train with unmatched determination, even though the air conditioning couldn’t fully combat the 100+ degree heat. Sweat poured down their faces, but their spirits never faltered. Their energy lit up the room like lions refusing to back down.
5. Cool Attitude > Cool Air
True strength comes from within. Summer teaches our students how to stay cool in attitude even when the temperature outside is anything but. Taekwondo doesn’t just teach kicks and punches; it builds character. It teaches children how to remain calm, respectful, and strong in all circumstances.
In the heart of summer, when most choose rest and retreat, our students rise to the challenge. Taekwondo during this season isn't just about training the body; it’s about forging character, discipline, and heart. The heat may be outside, but the true fire burns within. These young warriors remind us that growth doesn't wait for perfect conditions. It happens when we show up, work hard, and give our best no matter the temperature.
Let’s keep moving forward, one kick at a time.
