Family Testimonials “Training at Ireland’s has enriched our family life. It has given my sons structure and a place to expend energy in a positive way, while learning respect for others. Taekwondo for me has provided better health, more strength and a way to let go of the stress from having three boys. Most importantly it brings us together as we all work for the same goal of black belt.” – Deborah Bickle “More than anything, training together as a family is teaching my son about goals and what it means to reach them. All the life-skills that are an integral part of the Songahm training philosophy are key to helping one reach any goal. I remember it was said in class that although reaching a goal is awesome, it is the journey that is most important and rewarding. As I train with my son I hope that the journey teaches him that when working towards a goal gets difficult and frustrating, that it is okay to need the support of those that love you… your family. Years from now, I hope Nolan will remember how we worked towards our black belts together and that he can always count on his family to be there as a source of encouragement to persevere through any life obstacle that comes before him.” – Amanda Bryant “Our oldest son began training with the Ireland’s in 2001. After watching him train and compete for one and half years, our oldest daughter and I decided to join the school. In 2006, our youngest child began his training. During this time, we have all frown in our physical skills and in our leadership skills. One of the things we love about training together is that everyone in our family can share a common passion. We train together, compete together, and get to spend time together instead of going separate ways for activities during the week. Our daughter is getting teaching experience that will benefit her later in life and our sons are learning the self-discipline and perseverance that helps them become better people. Training as a family at Ireland’s ATA is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made!” – Stephanie Barth “I have found that Ireland’s ATA Martial Arts program provides a safe and friendly environment to learn and practice skills that can be intimidating, frustrating and scary. My daughter and son are learning to follow through with goals and develop a stronger mind body combination. I personally found the program a confidence booster in trying things I would normally have been intimidated by and therefore given up. Being who I am there some things I may never be able to do or want to (flips, splits, crazy jumps twist kicks), but knowing I am in a place that lets you try new things without being labeled a failure is a rewarding experience.” – Lynnea Lane “Our five year old son Ben has been taking taekwondo classes from Ireland’s ATA for just under a year. During this time we have noticed great strides in Ben’s listening skills, his ability to follow directions, and his self-confidence. He takes great pride in helping around the house and is rewarded for his hard work with blue starts for his uniform. In addition, Ben has learned and put into practice life lessons such as integrity, perseverance, and goal setting. As a parent, it is wonderful to have all of these values reinforced by the exceptional instructors.” – Kim Siegrist “My oldest child is having a very hard time with being a teenager. Keegan Ireland keeps him grounded and disciplined. My son not only trains hard but has found someone whom he can look up to. I have watched Keegan grow from a young teenager to an exceptional young man. I only hope that my own child will model himself after him. Karate has proven to be our family’s saving grace. If your family needs saving then karate may be for you! – Lori Cremer “We have been part of the Ireland ATA family since 2002. Our granddaughter, Megan, completed her black belt on October 8, 2005. She has benefited from the discipline and self control expected in her training. Our grandson, Shawn, began in September 2004. Ireland’s has deepened his understanding and ability to focus. We have the utmost confidence in the Ireland’s. Our first acquaintance was with Kelley and Helen Ireland and recently with Keegan Ireland. They uphold and expect the highest standards of behavior. We recommend their school to anyone interested in developing to their highest potential. – Mary Langevin
