Our Martial Arts Team Takes Great Pride In The Reviews We Receive

See What Our Community Members in Hampton Roads, VA (With Locations in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake) Say About Our Programs

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 like a muscle that needs regular exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts provides kids with strategies that help improve their ability to focus and maintain their attention. Schoolwork requires students to be able to concentrate for extended periods of time. Participating in Jiu-Jitsu requires even more concentration. This ability to concentrate and sustain attention is crucially important. As students learn and improve, they will grow life skills such as self-confidence and positive self-esteem.

Enhanced Self-Control & Self-Discipline

Almost all young children are naturally impulsive. How do you teach a child to deal with this impulsive behavior? – Self-discipline. A child who has self-control and self-discipline has a huge advantage in dealing with life’s challenges.

So many problems can be avoided when a person has self-control. Martial arts is the perfect solution to help teach students self-control and self-discipline.

Better School Grades

Martial arts training and educational training share a very important goal: to inspire attitudes and actions that turn students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high test scores are rewarded with good grades. Martial artists develop skills and traits needed to meet diverse challenges, such as studying to earn good grades. Just a few more are discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others.

This is a GIFT that will last a lifetime through school, college and into the work world.
