Make History
Empowering Our New Generation of Women One Kick at a Time In America we are known for progressive movements such as race and gender equality, however it’s known that we still struggle with a lot of race and gender equality issues today. There are still struggles within our culture that diminish minorities and women’s chances of success by labeling them with various expectations and false attributes. As you can easily turn on the TV and find various shows and commercial communicating stereotypes upon everyone watching. And a lot of times it’s our new generation of women that are absorbing these stereotypes and eventually those ideas will concrete themselves in these growing girls. That’s why it’s important for our new generation of women to grow up believing that they can do anything. And not be told they are expected to be a housewife or expected to think a certain way. This is where I firmly believe Martial Arts are a productive and positive hobby or sport for a growing girl to have. Why you may ask? Because within Martial Arts it’s expected that everyone gives their full 110% everyday no matter who you are. For example, I’ve worked with plenty of girls at my studio and expect the same hard work attitude I would want from any of my students because that’s what I see them as, students. When I pair kids up to spar (contact exercises with padded gear) against each other, I only use their experiences and talent as the way to judge who to spar who. A lot of times I purposely pair kids with a more experienced student so they’ll learn faster and experience struggle. Because overcoming struggle is a key element to teaching kids how to become productive human beings. Our lives are not padded roadways, but instead we will run into bumps and cracks. That’s why it’s important we treat both girls and boys with the same expectations within any hobby or sport; with our only expectation that they’ll get better and learn how to succeed. At Anthony Hong Tae Kwon Do we are proud of having amazingly talented female students; we’ve even had multiple medal winners at Tae Kwon Do competitions both at home and even internationally. We as a Martial Arts studio believe in improving every student that walks through our doors and would only want to see them succeed later in life.
