Yellow Belt

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This is like a seed that requires enrichment to grow. Initially we cannot see the beautiful image of the tree until growth. The student must enrich himself by working hard and sacrificing for his/her own growth. Yellow belt is the foundation of Martial Arts. A strong base is needed to build the strength, power, knowledge and wisdom that will be gained throughout the program.[/vc_column_text][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab title=”Spirit of Taekwondo” icon=”minus-1″ icon_closed=”plus-1″][vc_column_text]
