Style
(SideKicks Taekwondo Association) Formerly Songahm Taekwondo
This Taekwondo style emphasizes the development and use of both kicking
and hand techniques to its best advantage - which provides greater striking
strength in all areas of its techniques. The school has a collective wisdom
and experience of over 60 years. STA Taekwondo style consists of seven
sections of physical training which improve students both physically and
mentally.
BASICS - element of hand and arm motion.
KICKS - element of foot and leg motion.
FITNESS - evidence of physical fitness
FORMS - individual action.
ONE STEP - practical use of combat techniques.
SPARRING - relative free combat action.
BREAKING - evidence of power.
These skills are the basis of the organization's requirements for grading
and rank promotion.
The school places most of its emphasis on:
1. discipline - training that is expected to produce a controlled behaviour
that produces moral and mental improvement in our students.
2. Honour - Personal integrity maintained without legal or other obligation.
3. Integrity - Rigid adherence to a code of standard values.
4. Self-control - Control of one's emotions, desires, or actions by one's
own will.
5. Self-Esteem - Pride in oneself.
6. Respect - (a) To feel or show a different regard for; to esteem or
show esteem. (b) Willingness to show one's consideration or appreciation.
7. Pride - Pleasure or satisfaction taken in one's work or achievements.
8. Loyalty - Faithfulness to a person, ideal, or custom.
PROFESSIONAL
The quality of instruction could be surmised in a single word, Professionalism.
All instructors are black belts trained under direct supervision of Sabumnim
Delroy McDowell, 4th Degree Black Belt and senior instructor of the SideKicks
Taekwondo Association, formerly Songahm. This certification, representing
over 2000 hours of training and study, ensures that only professional
and qualified instructors teach at our schools.
The SideKicks Martial Arts Academy was founded and is headed by master
Maurice Orange, 6th Degree Black Belt, who is in residence at our International
Headquarters in San Diego, California.
Mr. Orange personally supervises all international certification for instructors
testing for black belts and instructor training classes/camps, to ensure
a measure of "Quality Control" in all member Taekwondo schools.
Master Orange brings over thirty (30) years of martial arts experience
to our students.
S.T.A
TAEKWONDO
Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strengths,
such as the power in her legs, while learning a method of self-defense
efficient against a much larger opponent.
Besides gaining a sense of individual accomplishment often lacking in
team sports, most children will improve their poise, self-confidence,
and self-discipline that often carries over to their home life and school
work.
