Our philosophy
The prospect of this school surges from the
experience of 30 years in Martial Arts and of the intention to establish a place
of teaching and discipline on a high level, following fundamental principles of
a Martial Arts school. At the same time supporting sports in this area and
motivate students in each of these disciplines.
The
Martial way of teaching is of high importance and fundamental for people's
development, at the same time for society, because of the principals of conduct
that take the individual to a level of constant evolution, self control and a
Martial discipline.
We want to prepare our students in their physical
health, create an atmosphere of sportive competition on professional, social
and educational level and strengthen the relationship between parents and
children, companions and students of different ages and social
classes.
Besides our regular trainings,
we organize and participate in different Martial Arts events through Mexico
and other countries worldwide, because we consider
it
of high importance to keep on evolving in Martial Arts teachings
as well as practice and interchange experiences and socialize with other Martial artist in
the world.

Our school doesn't intent to have a maximum amount
of students, instead it intents to maintain a high level of quality ,
therefore the students who wish to join themselves with this school, have to
follow certain structures.

The
most important aspect and true essence of what Master Miguel A. Gallardo

not accomplish the necessary development, not in Martial Arts, nor in life in

Teaching
structure for children and youths.
Our
philosophy of Martial Arts for children is to create an additional education for
children and youths, based on discipline, respect and confidence, besides
regular physical exercise which is necessary for their
development.
As mentioned before, the goal of Kwan Moo Do Playa
is not to have a high amount of students, but in stead give the opportunity to a
smaller group of children who are really determined to reach the required levels
of development of Tae Kwon Do.
An
important aspect of good functioning is the team work between parents, children
and instructors.
The training process is based on every degree
presented as follows:
White and yellow belts start to understand
discipline on a sporty and personal level, at the same time creating an idea of
personal growth, achieved through their effort. All this is based on technical
as well as esthetical Martial movements.
They recognize their commitment of responsibility
to anything they dedicate themselves to, in order to achieve better results.
This way we prepare children with a more solid or defined
confidence.
The next levels, green and blue
belts, are taken to a more developed, competitive
level with advanced movements and techniques. Their level of complexity
increases and their interest to grow forces them to take decisions, becoming
children with clearer, more objective ideas of what they
want.
Brown and red
belts are being prepared in a
psychological level of constant personal development in their character,
teaching them to direct themselves and other companions, by principles of
personal growth and competition.
The highest level for children is Black
belt Poom and can be achieved by children
who decide to dedicate themselves to Tae Kwon Do on a more profound level as
well as within National and International competition. To reach this level, the
student has been practicing and studying for a large amount of time and is kind
of an independent kid, that has good qualifications in school, besides having a
high level of physical health. At the age of 18 years old, a Black Belt Poom can
make his exam for Black Belt 1st Dan on so on.
