Excerpt from USA Taekwondo News
Summer 2006 - Vol 1 - Issue 2
By Dr. Misha Thackrey

"There are two major considerations in finding the right classes for your kids: First is the psychosocial environment of the school, and second is the physical curriculum itself.

Psychosocial environment is the people and their interactions with one another at the school. Just watch. What is the teacher like as a person? How does the teacher treat others? how do other regard the teacher? who are the other instructors, students, and their families, and what kind of people are they? long term, a combination of the teacher's personality and the general social environment of the school will have tremendous impact upon kids' personality and social development. It's not so much what we say, but rather what we really do that kids pick up on. When you visit the school, what do you see? what values and expectations, spoken and otherwise, are being enacted?..."

This article by Dr. Thackrey really sums it up. I believe that this is Lightning Kicks strength, and is truly what sets Lightning Kicks apart.

I would like to personally invite you to come in and visit us, have your children try a class. It is my personal goal that you will be 100% satisfied and convinced of our programs before you join our family.
