Our Clients say...
Our customers are truly awesome. Discover what they're saying about Changing Lives Martial Arts located locally here in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
My son started Tae Kwon Do about 2 years ago when he was 7. He mentioned several times Tae Kwon Do was something he was interested in and wanted to take lessons. Either my husband or I knew anything about the sport or were to begin looking for a location to train. I was speaking to one of Hunter’s classmate’s mother who recommended we try Changing Lives on Princess Anne. We started off by trying classes with a Groupon to determine if it was something my son would stick with. Since then we have had nothing but a positive experience. Mr. Gunsel, Ms. Morin and the other instructors have taken the time to get to know each child individually and always maintain a positive atmosphere during classes. My son has good days at class and sometimes bad days. But the instructors are always helpful preventing him from getting discouraged. After about a year my son joined the Demo Team which has provided an opportunity for him to perform in front of an audience. This has boosted his self-esteem and confidence. We have also been interested in taking what he has learned and competing in tournaments. To say Mr. Gunsel has been supportive is an understatement. He has been invaluable by providing my son with ‘private lessons’ during which he worked with him on his areas of weakness. He also ensured that during regular classes he concentrated on those same areas. He doesn’t just do this for my son he does this for all the students. My son is just about to take his test for his black belt and I am so proud of how much he has grown and developed over the last few years. I am also content with our decision to take him to Changing Lives in Princess Anne.

KIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE
Children need our support. We work hand in hand with parents to ensure our students make the right choices. At Changing Lives Martial Arts we work with each student one on one with support when needed.
Focus & Concentration
Concentration is akin to a muscle that requires consistent exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts equips kids with strategies to enhance their ability to focus and maintain attention. Schoolwork demands extended periods of concentration, and participating in martial arts requires even greater focus. Developing these skills fosters self-confidence and positive self-esteem as students learn and improve.
Enhanced Self-Control & Self-Discipline
Impulsiveness is common among young children. Teaching them self-control and self-discipline is crucial. Children equipped with self-control and self-discipline can better navigate life's challenges. Martial arts serves as an excellent platform to teach students these valuable traits.
Better School Grades
Martial arts training shares a significant goal with educational training: inspiring attitudes and actions that mold students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high-test scores lead to good grades, and martial artists develop skills and qualities essential for tackling diverse challenges, including discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others, all contributing to academic success.
