SHIN'S MARTIAL ARTS INSTITUTE is a unique physical and mental conditioning center specializing in the ancient Korean martial art of Tae Kwon Do. Under the expert instruction of Grand Master Seoung Eui Shin students strive toward self-improvement and ways to live a more productive and satisfying life. Tae Kwon Do, or "the art of kicking and punching", involves practice and dedication in order to reap its more valuable benefits.

Grand Master Shin is a living example of the rewards to be gained through Tae Kwon Do. After more than 40 years of consistent training, he holds a ninth degree black belt. Grand Master Shin is recognized internationally for his accomplishments and commitment to providing excellent martial arts instruction. His knowledge and philosophy have truly touched the lives of many and he continually strives to help those in need, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.

Compared to other sports and fitness programs, Tae Kwon Do has numerous advantages. For example, there is more equalized conditioning of all body areas with development of balance, posture, and coordination. While learning self-defense, practitioners keep in shape, gain self-respect and confidence, and learn respect for others. Here at Shin’s Martial Arts, we keep the "ART" in martial arts.

Children who practice Tae Kwon Do learn how to set goals and attain them. They learn self-control, respect, and self-discipline. They gain abilities in concentration and focus not found in other types of activities. Tae Kwon Do has been recognized by educators and doctors to be very beneficial in helping children increase self-concept, whereby they gain self-control in many important areas of their lives.

PROGRAMS

There are several levels in Tae Kwon Do through which one will pass from beginner to advanced student. The programs available at Shin's Martial Arts Institute allow one to make a choice based on his or her needs. For those who are unsure of their needs, it is recommended that one or two classes be attended before a decision is made on which program is best. A student who attends class an average of three times a week or more can generally attain the level of Black Belt in about 30 months.

TWELVE-MONTH PROGRAM

The twelve-month program is the best program for the student who is sure of their desire to learn martial arts and wants to achieve greater self-defense abilities, as well as self-control and fitness. This program allows one to advance to the red belt level. When the student reaches this level, a wide range of techniques is learned and concentration is developed to a much higher degree. It is in the stages of red belt that a student usually develops the strong desire to continue their training to the black belt level. At the black belt level one truly has the ability to defend oneself and greater focus in life is achieved.

BLACK BELT COURSE

The Black Belt Course is a 30-month program, which provides everything needed to attain the level of Black Belt, including uniforms, private lessons, etc. The benefits of attaining the level of Black Belt are too numerous to name, but, a healthier, more mentally and physically positive lifestyle is achieved. There is a unique quality of improved self-esteem found at this level. Black Belts receive certification from the Kukkiwon in Seoul, Korea through Grand Master Shin and are recognized worldwide.
