Programs that develop character as well as martial arts skills
The Six Tasks Character Development Program turns philosophy into action. Six Tasks helps us teach your child or teenager by influencing, directing and modifying their behavior. And, Six Tasks is a program unique to the martial arts (this program is not taught in soccer, baseball or gymnastics!).
There's a better way
What better way to teach your child or teen about respect than to have them practice respectful acts?
What better way to teach perseverance, self-discipline, and leadership than to have them develop and apply these traits in their daily lives?
The Six Tasks Character Development Program is the most practical, quantifiable, and intelligent character development program available for young people today.
In fact, the six theme-based tasks involve more than 1000 actions.
Positive Power
Six Task's power is that it develops a positive influence on your child's or teen's behavior both inside and outside our dojo.
Six Tasks helps them to set short-term, challenging, but obtainable goals. They learn life-changing lessons, experience a sense of accomplishment, and have a significant impact on people around them.
The Six Tasks teaches them about respect and courtesy, about teamwork and the value of family, about repetition, proficiency and perseverance, about diet and self-discipline, about mentoring and leadership, about the power of the written word, and the value of education.
How's it work?
Each student is given wallet-sized Journals in which to record their progress. The six theme-based tasks are:
- Respect: Students record in their Journal 50 acts of courtesy, kindness and respect.
- Teamwork: Students record in their Journal 50 home chores they accomplish.
- Perseverance: Students record in their Journal 1000 repetitions.
- Self-discipline: Students record in their Journal five days of healthy eating.
- Leadership: Students record in their Journal 10 mentoring sessions with one other or multiple students.
- Knowledge: Students read two books, and write ten letters and record them in their Journal.
Awards and Recognition
Upon completion of each Six Tasks Journal, students are awarded corresponding badges for display on their uniforms.
Students who complete more than one of each Six Tasks Journal and will receive a special achievement award for doing so.
Plus, as an integral part of our Black Belt program, students are required to complete a pre-designated theme-based Six Tasks Journal prior to receiving their belt promotion, which gives your child or teen even more incentive to develop and apply what they've learned.
Most importantly, students are certain to be recognized outside the dojo by their schoolmates, teachers, pastors, priests and other pillars of the community for practicing and applying each of these character-building behaviors.
And, what greater reward is there than that.
So enroll your child or teen in our Taekwondo classes today and start reaping the rewards of the most comprehensive character-building program available. You'll be glad you did!
