Seneca Taekwondo and After-School Programs are geared towards Fun and Safety for all participants. Our instructors are certified by the World Taekwondo Federation and the Canadian National Coaching Certification Program.
Each student begins with a White Belt to signify the beginning of their adventure in self-discovery. As students increase their knowledge of the martial arts, they move to darker colour belts until they reach the coveted Black Belt.
Seneca will take you to Black Belt & Beyond !!!Our program takes you all the way to Master’s level, complete with World Taekwondo Federation Certifications.
Taekwondo students will learn tactics and techniques to defend themselves in real-life situations. They will also learn the tenents of taekwondo which include respect, honesty, integrity, patience, perseverence and indomitable spirit.
The art of taekwondo offers its riches to anyone who sincerely undertakes its study. There are no age, sex or racial barriers; everybody begins equally, as White Belts. each student progresses at his or her own pace, according to individual effort and ability.
Taekwondo training addresses the whole individual - Body, Mind and Spirit; and it involves a great deal more than physical technique. To be sure, the student of taekwondo is expected to develop strength, stamina, quickness, flexibility, coordination and balance.
Belts and respect are earned, not given. Each new belt can be worn as a symbol of honest accomplishment. However, it remains only a symbol. The truly successful student is the one who has learned to enjoy walking the path instead of worrying too much about the destination.
Gradually, the lessons of the training hall begin to colour other aspects of life. Mind, Body and Spirit become unified and transformed. Living becomes richer and more enjoyable.
The road to true mastery requires that formidable physical accomplishments be balanced with the equally important mental characteristics of patience, humility, self-control, perseverance, concentration and respect. These too, must be practiced faithfully, both in and out of class.
The Seneca Taekwondo program is directed by World Taekwondo Master Alan Bastien, from
Seneca College Martial Arts. He is an experienced Phys.Ed. Teacher, who has taught for
Seneca College, the York and Toronto District School Boards and several private schools.
