Welcome to Karate for Kids in Murphy, Texas! We are located on the Northeast corner of FM 544 and Murphy Road. We are an American Taekwondo Association Black Belt Acadamy, and we have been serving Murphy since 2006. We offer classes for both adults and children starting at age four. Please feel free to contact us by phone at 972-422-4848 or by e-mail at masterh@murphyata.com. Thank you for stopping by murphyata.com!
I’m so excited about the ATA’s interest in education. It’s part of the reason I so love being a member of this taekwondo organization. Not only do we emphasize education in our classes with our reward systems and practices, (Our word-of-the-month for April is Goals for Education!), but the H.U. Lee Memorial Foundation has been promoting higher education within the organization by providing scholarships for graduating takewondo high school students for more than 15 years.
Learning doesn’t just happen in school!
Three cheers for learning!
Most of you are right in the thick of a re-education, aren’t you? Your kids are bringing home math problems that you have long-forgotten how to do, perhaps asking questions about biology or science whose answers are fuzzy in your mind from so many years of being out of school. It’s probably a little overwhelming sometimes. Have you seen “Are you smarter than a fifth grader?” Some of those questions are kind of hard!
Whether or not you went to college, trade school, have four pHds, or went straight to work after high school, there’s always an opportunity to learn more now. We live in an age of instant information, and I for one love that about this time. From Google to Wikipedia to Pinterest, we have more resources than ever to better ourselves and our minds, which will in turn help our kids in their studies.
Do you still have educational goals? Do they include helping your kids with theirs?
