Collingwood Martial Arts Centre

My girls have taken karate her as have I and love the everything about it

Both my boys and myself have been practicing Tae Kwon Do for several years with Master Ivan. Our greatest take away has been the virtues such as courtesy, modesty, perseverance, discipline, goal setting, respect for others , work ethic, and becoming a champion. Sure the TKD skills are handy to have and as I approach 60 years of age, I am still exercising and moving to all the fundamental skills and drills he has taught us.

Back to our largest take away... my boys are now 30 and 28 years old and it’s been over 20 years since we 3 have received our black belts. Along that journey we learned and practices the foundations of life and living. At the risk of sounding corny, the many principles I’ve learned from Master Ivan became the springboard to our family’s success. We are still on a journey but one that was set on the correct course at the right time. I am forever grateful for the multitude of lessons I gleaned from Master Ivan. It’s been said before, “If you want to be great, be grateful.”
Thanks for all the life’s lessons.

Our lives would have turned out very differently without all the guidance I took from Collingwood Martial Arts.
