| About: | Taekwon-Do is an ancient Korean form of self-defense and is one of the quickest ways to get in shape. "Tae" stands for jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot. "Kwon" denotes the fist--chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. "Do" means an art or way-- the right way built and paved by the saints and sages in the past. Taekwon-Do offers training in mental discipline and is excellent for building self-confidence, as well as improving concentration. Taekwon-Do emphasizes respect, discipline, and responsibility. Taekwon-Do is an activity for the whole family, regardless of age or gender, that is a terrific source of fun, togetherness, and family spirit, while you develop flexibility, muscle tone, and lose weight. |

My first child went to another "martial arts" school in Sylvania and we both hated it.
My second child goes to Great Lakes Global and we both love it. The owner/teacher requires the students to be respectful and to be disciplined both in school and in their daily lives. However, she encourages it in a fun, uplifing manner. The owner/teacher teaches each and every class; any assistant teachers are under her direct supervision during class. There was no pressure to join the club. She she wants potential students to try tae kwon-do for a month before signing a contract to see if the student really, really wants to do it. Plus, there is no pressure to join after the first class (No, "I'll give you a discount, but only if you join today") like some other schools and health clubs and used car salesmen do. I can't say enough good things about Great Lake Global.
Excellent School and Instructor: The owner is highly motivated, talented and knowledgeable in taekwon-do. The students are encouraged to participate in national and international events. The owner travels with them to coach and guide her students.
If you are looking for a place to learn discipline, self-defense, respect for yourself and others, this is the place.
One of the best in the mid-west.
Don't be fooled by those who speak of their past "glory" days. This school proves itself day in and day out.
