Our aims are: to restore fitness to those whose health is going downhill; to guide and motivate people to express their talents and challenge their aggression in a positive and creative way; to provide them with aims and to promote in them the self-esteem to enable them to face all challenges in their lives. Our Tukido Instructors are there to do much more than simply teach their students the techniques of our martial art. They should also help them to achieve their highest level of well being, both physically and mentally. We teach not only punches, kicks and blocks, but also self-discipline, how to co-exist with other people, how to compete to the best of our own ability but always with fairness and a good-natured attitude, how to make decisions, and how to take pride in all we do. This is especially important when we have youngsters learning from us. We should instill in them a positive outlook and help them develop their own abilities as potential leaders.
