Why Families Choose Us?
North Burnaby residents have been training with us for over 20 years. In that time we've fostered the trust of the community and have had a direct impact on the success of our students - many of which have gone on to great things and some still train with us! As a traditional martial art we are aware of the "blind spots" that martial arts might have within the scope of their training concepts. It's for that reason that our Taekwondo program incorporates elements of BJJ, Judo and Kickboxing. The result is a highly engaging and ever evolving program that provides an excellent framework for learning self-defence.
WHY Taekwondo?
As a martial art, if you think in terms of applied distance, Taekwondo is your first line of defence in an unarmed situation. Taekwondo also plays really well in combination with other martial arts and is the chameleon of the martial arts world. What most people don't realize is that most of the stars in the UFC have a background or at the very least Taekwondo training. Combine Taekwondo with BJJ (your last line of defence) and you have a formidable knowledge base to handle yourself in most self-defence scenarios.
Lil Ninjas Program
Our Lil Ninjas program is for ages 4 - 7 years old. The focus of this program is to give a positive outlet for all that energy and give them a base for future martial arts excellence. We have an award winning curriculum that gives the "little ones" a spring board for success.
JUNIOR CLASSES
Our junior classes are for ages between 8 and 12 years old. These students differ from the little ninjas in the sense that they are exposed to the full curriculum and are expected to perform at a much higher level. The emphasis in this class is on discipline, technique and physical fitness.
JUNIOR ADVANCED CLASS
In this class, green belt and above, are introduced to sparring drills, boxing drills, nunchaku training, single stick forms and more elaborate self-defense techniques.
BULLY SAFE KIDS PROGRAM
Metro Performance Taekwondo Studio in Burnaby makes use of the BULLY SAFE KIDS approach, which teaches children skills on how to deal with teasing, bullying, and mean spirited kids in a non-aggressive way. Bully Safe Kids resolve conflict peacefully by remaining C A L M during any incident of conflict.
C - Cool down. When confronted by bullies, Metro Taekwondo students stay calm and in control. It’s important not to let the bully think he’s getting to you.
A - Assert yourself. . When facing bullies, Metro Taekwondo students stand tall and use a strong voice.
L - Look at the teaser straight in the eye. Metro Taekwondo students shows confidence by holding their head high. Children should not have an intimidated, slouched appearance. Bullies feed upon this.
M - Mean it! Metro Taekwondo students use a firm, strong voice. They learn to say what they feel, without being insulting, threatening or teasing back.
“It is not advisable to teach your child to fight back at a bully. On the other hand, martial arts training in its essence serves to bring out other valuable qualities other than brute force or vengeance. They teach self-restraint, self-discipline and confidence in your own physical potentials-all are important signals to the bully that you are not an easy prey.” -SUSAN MURPHY MILANO'S JOURNAL
