Creating the family martial art experience

-

The mission of the Saskatchew­an Taekwon-do Federation Internatio­nal (STFI) is to promote the values, practice and philosophy of Taekwon-do throughout Saskatchew­an. STFI is a not-for-profit organizati­on, founded in 1984 by Master Clint Norman, with two convenient locations in Regina: South location – St. Anne’s Parish, 1701 Cowan Crescent; and North West location – Henry Jensen School, 222 Rink Ave. Other locations in the Regina area include Balgonie and Grand Coulee. Master Norman supplies the instructio­n at these centres.

Master Norman most importantl­y, teaches his students discipline, respect, manners and concentrat­ion, based on the five tenets of Taekwon-do which include courtesy, integrity, perseveran­ce, self-control and indomitabl­e spirit.

Master Norman has been practicing Taekwon-do since 1973, and today is one of the internatio­nal instructor­s for the Internatio­nal Taekwon-do Federation.

As well as receiving the Outstandin­g Instructor Medal from the Internatio­nal Taekwon-do Federation, Norman was inducted into the Saskatchew­an Sports Hall of Fame in 1993.

Norman’s Taekwon-do instructio­n offers courses in Taekwon-do to people of all ages and levels of experience, including the Taekwon-do Tigers program targeted for the three- to five-year-old children. The program is designed to encourage good listening skills, confidence and respect. The course will help your child prepare for school and is designed to be fun.

Classes are structured for your entire family to participat­e in the same group setting; there’s no need to sit around and watch your child when you could be part of the fun and get in shape.

For those who are interested in trying out classes, the first three classes are free.

For more informatio­n and to be part of the fun, contact 306-525-0005 or visit the website at www.itfsaskatc­hewan.com.

The organizati­on is officially recognized by Sask. Sport. They also work closely with Kid’s Sport and other non-profit organizati­ons to help make it possible for the youth to take advantage of our Martial Art. “Come and be part our winning team. We offer top quality Instructio­n with your best interests in mind!” says Norman.
