Our Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy focuses on acknowledgment of the positive. We know that everyone is amazing in their own right; possessing unique talents and abilities. Our goal is to help our students realize their individual abilities and strengths, without the need of comparison to others. At Asheville Sun Soo, learning is accomplished in the context of the group supporting the individual. Each person’s presence is a gift to the group. As a result, Asheville Sun Soo has an inspiring community of educated, intelligent, positive, supportive, caring and motivated people -- who have dedicated themselves to being well-rounded and excellent martial artists.
At Asheville Sun Soo, we believe that when practiced correctly, this form of Tae Kwon Do is effective at protecting oneself and others in real world applications. Therefore, we strive to ensure that each student is capable of regularly performing powerful and accurate self defense techniques.
We see and interact with our students as causal beings capable of achieving great success, in and out of the dojang. As students experience greater and greater success in their Tae Kwon Do practice, they gain increased confidence that typically translates in all areas of their lives.
Our students understand that we are influencing them to practice the five tenets of Traditional Tae Kwon Do (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit) every day, in every way and every place.
In summation, our goal is to produce aware, caring, capable, generous and accomplished human beings who lead by example, live from principle and inspire others around them.
