Fall 2009 The Sports Beijing Karate Program, led by Shawn and Simon Shieh, is based on Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art with a very long history. Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan evolved in Korea during the 1930's and is influenced by many different styles including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese karate. Karate emphasizes the physical and mental development of the student. The training will improve your physical fitness and self-defense abilities by developing your coordination, power, flexibility, and stamina. Students practice traditional forms and kicking and punching drills that focus the mind on self discipline, self-confidence and respect for others. Shawn and Simon Shieh, a father and son team, will continue to coach this very popular program that they started in 2007. Simon is a third degree black belt. He has trained for more than 10 years; competed in many nationally-rated open martial arts tournaments in the U.S.A; and been an instructor at Leclerc’s Martial Arts in New York training students from 4 years old to adult. Shawn has trained for more than 5 years and is a second degree black belt. He is currently a college professor and has more than 20 years experience teaching middle and high school students. Ages: 6 -16 years old Please indicate which session you are registering for on the sports sign-up form.
