Testimonials
DJ 34 years old – Blue Belt
I started taking Taekwon-Do at Focus in September of 2008. I wanted something my 5 and 7 year olds could do with me. I wanted something that would help teach them respect, integrity, and how to be a good person. I was lucky to find Ms. Maund and Ms. Harvey at the Chestermere Recreation Centre’s “Energizer Night”.
When we started, I was an overweight smoker that could barely do a push up. I never dreamed I would be competing in Jasper Alberta in the Western Canadian tournament. In 1 ½ years, I have lost weight, learned skills and spent time with my kids, instead of just watching them from the sidelines. All ages, sexes and cultures can benefit from being part of this club.
I have seen Ms. Maund and Ms. Harvey take kids with low self esteem to proud, strong young people. One of the best things about this club is not just learning Taekwon-Do, but also belonging to the community as well as an extended family. They organize club camping trips, seminars, and even pot-luck parties to celebrate the club and the sport together.
Like so many others, me and my family will be part of this family for many years to come.

Four years ago we joined the Focus Taekwon-Do family, where we now have made many new and true friends. We have found it to be a time that our entire family can spend together without outside distractions. The fitness benefits, along with discipline, and respect have been very advantageous. We enjoy watching our children’s confidence and abilities grow through the many demonstrations and competitions we have attended. We highly recommend joining the Focus Taekwon-Do Club.

As I sat on the sidelines watching her grow as a Martial artist, I thought it would be fun to join also. This year I took the plunge and joined. So now my daughter and I can enjoy the benefits of Taekwon-Do together. I love the self defense Taekwon-Do has taught me, I am getting in shape, helping to strengthen an old ankle injury, and have developed many friendships with the staff as well as some other moms who have also joined. ~ Tanya Gaida ~ 
It has been 3 ½ years since my daughter joined Focus Taekwon-Do. We made the decision to sign her up to learn self defense and discipline. What a difference! She has come a long way.
