make them suitable for all ages. Classes are grouped by age and ability, as well as "all belt" classes for families who want to work out together. We provide only quality instruction through our professionally trained and nationally certified instructors. Our students learn in the traditional group setting. Individual instruction is also available. |

Achievement at ASKJ
is not measured in championships and trophies. It is measured
in terms of personal excellence and the achievement of personal
goals, these are the true accomplishments to be celebrated. Each
belt advancement testing event is followed by a banquet for the
student, his or her family, and friends. It is an opportunity
to celebrate all accomplishments made both on and off the floor.
Grand Master Byrne takes great pride in the efforts and achievements of his students, not simply within the martial arts arena but also in their own lives. He and his staff at ASKJ are wholly dedicated to teaching not simply the martial arts but the tenets of personal excellence as well. |

| Tae Kwon Do students
should be courteous both inside and outside the Do-Chang. They
should try to develop a spirit of mutual cooperation and justice.
Students should have respect for those senior to them in age
and rank. |
|
|
| Integrity implies
that one must be able to define right from wrong and do what
is right. He must not misrepresent himself or his skills. A student
who has integrity does not gain rank for ego purposes or for
the feeling of power, but rather for personal growth and improvement
of technique. |
|
|
| There is an old Oriental
saying, "Patience leads to virtue or merit." To achieve
something, whether it is a high degree or the perfection of a
technique, one must set his goal, then constantly persevere.
One of the most important secrets in becoming a leader is to
overcome every difficulty with perseverance. |
|
|
| This Tenet, as are
all the others, is important both inside and outside the Do-Chang.
Whether one is free sparring or conducting his personal affairs,
one must exercise self-control and respect the rights and welfare
of others. |
|
|
| Indomitable spirit
is shown when a courageous person and his principles are pitted
against overwhelming odds. When a student is confronted with
an injustice, he should deal with it without fear or hesitation.
