TBG Martial Arts
Tolerance
Martial arts offers a multifaceted approach to enhancing tolerance
— both physical and mental.
Let's explore how:
1. Self-Discipline and Patience:
-
Consistent practice
in martial arts requires dedication and adherence to routines.
- Our students learn to
control impulses
, maintain focus, and persevere through challenges.
- This self-discipline fosters
patience
— a crucial aspect of tolerance.
2. Emotional Regulation:
- TBG teaches students to manage emotions during intense situations.
- Whether sparring or practicing forms, individuals learn to stay
composed and focused
.
- This emotional control extends beyond the dojo into daily life.
3. Conflict Resolution Skills:
- Martial artists learn non-violent ways to resolve conflicts as a first resort.
- They assess situations, remain calm, and seek peaceful solutions whenever possible.
- This ability to handle disagreements with tolerance and understanding is invaluable.
4. Physical Endurance:
- Practicing martial arts involve rigorous training to toughen the body.
- Repetition, conditioning, and sparring build physical resilience .
- This resilience extends to mental tolerance for discomfort .
5. Cultural Awareness and Respect:
- Tradition, the "T" in TBG, is one of our three core values. We teach Texas-Style Taekwondo, honoring the traditions of the
ancient Korean art and embracing the evolution of Taekwondo in Texas.
- Our students learn about Korean traditions, philosophies, and cultures.
- This exposure cultivates
open-mindedness
and respect for diverse perspectives.
- In the 1950s, Taekwondo was popularized in the United States. Jhoon-Rhee began teaching Taekwondo at a karate school
in Austin, Texas. This style, originally Chung Do Kwan style, evolved into the legendary "Texas Tough Karate".
At TBG, we continue this teaching that is uniquely Texan.
6. Community and Camaraderie:
- TBG is a supportive community.
