GARR Taekwondo

Ms. Nayoon receives her rank of white belt/ yellow stripe as she just transitioned from Mighty Mites to the kids program. Another successful transition. Her technical ability is notable. Well done young lady...

(2) More Mighty Mites (3yo - 5yo program) make the transition to the kids class (regular program). We have essentially created a pipeline for their success and growth... When they have shown maturity and proficiency, Mighty Mites are able to transition to the kids class and have their skills pushed! Ms. Sahana and Mr. Arjun take the next steps in their Taekwondo journey...

I would like to thank all the Garr Taekwondo families for their support and trust during 2020. It was a challenging year, but we survive because of your support. We are entering our 4th year (it went by fast) and I will continue to invest 100% into every student that walks through the doors of our dojang. Loyalty, is not just a "catch phrase", it is something we either live or not. I will see you all in 2021. #garrtkdstrong

Ms. Kritika, a very determined young lady. Her eagerness was noted on day 1 of training. She earned her yellow belt recently this month. Well done.

Oct 2020, Mr. CJ, is testing for his 3rd level red belt. Here he is demonstrating the flexibility of Taekwondo hand techniques only... He is the highest ranking color belt in the dojang.

Ms. Katie, July 2017 vs November 2020...from white belt to brown belt/ red stripe...I am invested 100% in every student...that is the way this works. #instructorcreed

Ms. Maya, recently earned her yellow belt/ orange stripe. She is a graduate of our Mighty Mites program and a very hard worker. She is our youngest student in the regular program at 5yo. Well done young lady...

Mr. Caden...testing for his blue belt/ brown stripe. He is a graduate of our Mighty Mite program and now, coming close to achieving his goals. They grow so fast physically and mentally, sometimes someone believing in them makes all the difference. #nolimits #garrtkdstrong

Always a good day when one of your young students gets it. A shirt he gifted to me, very much appreciated. #givemorethanyoudemand

Sometimes we need someone to believe in us, push us out of our comfort zone. Ms. Katie has come so far and has stayed the course. Bring your daughters and sons to a place that will get them to believe in themselves. This is her first attempt ever at a aerial back kick break.... As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

This speaks volumes to our responsibility as instructors, motivators, teachers...

Welcome Mr. Arjun...a well done orientation. His hand/ eye coordination is well above average. Solid work and strong first step...#journeydayone

Working with intermediate/ advanced students and taking them beyond the basics. Teaching them application is the next step in the martial process. It is always enjoyable when the application light bulb turns on. Pictured with Master Garr is Mr. Amogh...

...it's been a long week. By weeks end, we as instructors, are mentally tired, physically tired, and drained to our core. But, to watch students and athletes progress is very rewarding. We give a great deal to our students, but the one thing we CANNOT give is "patience". The acquisition of this skillset takes 2 things: 1. TIME and 2. Mental fortitude. #trusttheprocess Some things cannot be rushed. -GARR TAEKWONDO-

Garr Taekwondo is a Santa Clara County COVID compliant program. We make the safety and welfare of our membership a priority over all else. We exceed all county expectations and protocols and did so BEFORE the pandemic. #safetyfirst #garrtaekwondostrong

The best description of basics: Simple, but not easy. Have patience, mastery will come in time. Get out of the mindset of instant gratification and the desired results will come. #sheworkshard

Backbone beats wishbone everytime... -unknown-

Walk back Wednesday! July 2018.... Mr Collin, Mr Caden, and Mr Tyler...... They were pups....now becoming fine young martial artists... All are either blue belts or green belts now, still a part of our program...

There is no greater fulfillment than the promotion of a student, who has earned the next rank. Ms. Ashely, earned her Brown Belt. On to the next level young lady. ... Hard work IS the shortcut. Read that again. #earnednotgiven

Belt examinations, Sept 19, 2020. Ms. Ashely, testing for her brown belt. We are a traditional Korean Taekwondo school, we use 12 x 12 x 1 inch boards. No demo boards, or children’s boards. One standard...period. #noexcuses #strongprocess #onestandardforall

Welcome Ms. Prerna...a good first day/ orientation. A hard working young lady...soaking up all information quickly and efficiently. Today, she took her first steps into the Taekwondo world...

Flashback Friday...Mr. Caden...now a blue belt in the kids intermediate/ advanced class. He is still with us and training strong! This was 2 years ago when he was an orange belt...he is a graduate of our Mighty Mites program. #stayoncourse
