Benefits of Martial Arts VS Other sports

Martial Arts

Focus on Personal Growth

Taekwondo helps you grow not just as a martial artist but as a person. It teaches you to set goals, build confidence, and develop important life skills.

Everyone Belongs

In Taekwondo, everyone is included, and each student learns at their own pace. This creates a friendly environment where everyone supports one another.

Enjoy the Journey

Taekwondo emphasizes the importance of learning and improving over just winning competitions. Students celebrate their progress and enjoy the training.

Supportive Coaching

Taekwondo instructors are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. They provide personalized guidance that encourages students to overcome their fears, push past their limits and develop essential life skills, such as confidence, resilience and focus, that extend far beyond the martial arts studio.

Builds Respect and Discipline

Taekwondo fosters a strong sense of respect, encouraging students to honor their instructors, parents, family, and teammates. This commitment is embodied in the phrase we demonstrate, "I shall respect my instructor, parents, family, teammates, and most of all myself." Such values create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Discipline is cultivated through consistent practice, helping students focus and commit to their goals. These qualities empower them to face challenges with confidence and integrity, both on and off the mat.

traditional sports

Less Focus on Personal Growth

Many sports prioritize winning over helping individuals grow, often missing out on teaching important life skills like resilience and teamwork.

Feeling Left Out

In team sports, some players may not get enough playtime or attention, which can make them feel excluded and less excited about participating.

Winning Comes First

A strong focus on winning can take away the fun of playing, leading to unhealthy competition and forgetting the importance of supporting each other.

Generic Coaching

In team settings, coaches may not give enough individual attention, making it hard for everyone to develop their unique skills.

Respect and Discipline May Not Be a Central Focus

In traditional sports, the primary focus is often on competition and physical performance. While these are important aspects of athletic development, core values like respect and discipline may not always receive the same emphasis. Without consistent reinforcement, athletes may have fewer opportunities to cultivate these qualities, which are essential both on and off the field. Unlike activities that actively integrate these values into training, traditional sports may not always highlight them as key components of personal growth.

what people IN ottawa say

I can’t say enough good things about Master Radomir and Master Campbell. Our twin boys have been going to Capital TKD for a couple of years and have learned a tremendous amount both physically and psychologically. As a psychiatrist, I can see the resilience training that Master Radomir is imparting to all of his students, encouraging them in many different ways, including through humor, and metaphors to think about mental discipline and focus, as well as so many creative ways to move the body physically. He is no “ordinary” TKD master. He himself at least was (and perhaps still is) a world class athlete though he rarely talks about this - but you can see it in how he trains his students. Our kids keep exclaiming “how is he so good ?!?!” He can be firm and demanding (which I like) but it’s clear it comes from a genuine caring for his students and sincere interest in pushing his students to be their best. Master Beth is amazing too. Our kids call her “super soldier serum lady” because of her high physical demands for students and her peculiar preoccupation with jumping jacks. I believe it’s very good to see kids advance there over the years based on merit and hard work - irrespective of gender, race, or other traits. Many times women/girls are helping to lead/teach classes because it’s clear some have put in the work to hone their craft and are rewarded for this. Kids see females (as well as males) in leadership positions there based on merit. We also see students from many different backgrounds, none of which matters when training starts. The only thing that matters is the color of the belt and the work behind that. This is an important kind of world for kids to see, particularly in this day and age. Overall we have been so pleased with this program and thankfully our kids have really enjoyed it too.
