There Are Always Second Chances!

Many years ago, a troubled man stood at the crossroads of his life.  He fought with this parents, performed poorly in school and had trouble making friends.  Like many his age, he also struggleD with issues of identity:  He often thought to himself, "Who am I? and Where do I belong?"

 In a desperate bid to fit in with his peers, he joined a street gang, and so began his life as a street thug.  Then after a violent street fight and encounter with the police, he realized his life wasn't on the right track.  It was time for a change. . .

 

One day he was introduced to a local martial arts instructor.  He was excited to start training.  But, other students wouldn't accept him in class because of his mixed ancestry.  That didn't stop him.  He arranged private classes with his instructor, eagerly learned the techniques and immersed himself in martial arts. 

The boy trained for five years, then moved to the United States where he made a name for himself.  He started teaching martial arts, developed his own techniques and even went on to create his own art!  Yes, martial arts turned this troubled young man's life around and made this boy a household name.  Who is he?  The legendary Bruce Lee!

Testimonials

Excellent way to spend family time together
My children started their Tae Kwon Do lessons in September 2009. My husband and I joined them in May 2010. I must say, if you are looking for something positive to do as a family, Tae Kwon Do with Mr. Burns and Mr. JD Burns should be your first choice! My husband, children, and I enjoyed being in class together and it made us stronger as a family. I also really enjoyed the kick boxing classes and my husband took MMA. The atmosphere at this dojong is one of hard work, perseverence, and fun. Mr. Burns and Mr. JD Burns make learning fun and make you want to strive to do your very best.
