  • Exploring Integrity

    Exploring Integrity Integrity is the cornerstone of martial arts, and at Perry’s Taekwondo Academy, it's not just a word but a way of life. In every class, from the youngest white belts to the seasoned black belts, students are taught the importance of integrity both on and off the mat. 1. Respect: Integrity begins with respect for oneself, instructors, classmates, and the art. At Perry’s Taekwondo, bowing upon entering and leaving the dojang is a physical manifestation of this respect, reminding students of the honor and tradition behind Taekwondo. 2. Honesty: There's no room for deception in martial arts. Students are encouraged to be honest about their ....

  • Discipline

    Why is there discipline in martial arts? We're asked all the time whether we can teach your child discipline. There are numerous benefits for children and adults, including physical health and a boost in confidence. Our approach at Perry's Taekwondo Academy is to instill the core values provided by our five taekwondo tenets. Children face many obstacles in their daily lives, including their home life, as well as in school and social interaction with others. Studies show that children attending a martial arts program learn proper behavior, become more sociable, and pay better attention in class. Our instructors instill discipline in their classes. We constantly remind our students of the ....

  • What is Sparring?

    What is Sparring? Parents asked me this question all the time. I like to answer this question in this way. Most parents look for discipline, focus, confidence, and respectful children with strong self-control. They do not bring their children to Perry's Taekwondo Academy to make them more violent or to become bullies with martial arts training. I like to think we teach sparring in an understandable setting for their age. Our young students will fail if we teach only the physical part of sparring, not the character side. Without the character side, they may become more violent or what I refer to as "bullies without morals." First, we do not allow our students to spar Full-Contact at ....

  • What is a No-Change?

    Getting a No-Change at testing could depend on a few factors making a mistake in your form, adaptable sparring combinations for your rank, missing your breaking attempts, and your indomitable spirit at testing. A No-Change at testing is a pretty hard dose of reality and can be very upsetting, downright frustrating, and hard to overcome. First, remember it's one day out of many training days, not just in Taekwondo but in life. There will be days that you will succeed and days you will not. Then you're going to ask yourself did I do enough to pass this testing, or did I do enough to squeak by. How can I fix the issues or problems if you received a No-Change at testing? ....

  • About Us

    Perry’s Taekwondo Academy is a family business, owned and operated by Mr. Todd Perry and Ms. Tracy Perry. Our taekwondo story begins back in September of 2005 when I began searching for an activity for my 5-year-old son Jestin and six-year-old daughter Sabrina because their elementary school didn’t have recess and only offered P.E. classes 2 days a week. I wanted to find an after-school activity that would be fun and structured. After much searching, I found a martial arts school in Kissimmee, run by Mr. John Emmons, that fit our needs. I liked the fact that it was a family owned business and all of the family members were actively involved. I was a little nervous when the ....
