Johnson’s hosting campaign in Cary, NC for Soles4Souls

Heartwrenching to see this in this day and age! Heartwrenching to see this in this day and age!Johnson's TaeKwonDo is accepting gently used to new shoes for the Soles4Souls organization. We are currently accepting shoes and sandals at our location at 100-D Woodwinds Industrial Ct. We will begin putting collection boxes around the Cary area soon. Our campaign is planned to end in April 2010 with a "Walk a Mile Without Shoes Walk" for the Soles4Souls organization.

It is our goal as Martial Arts teachers to assist students in reaching their fullest potentials so that they can then learn to manifest those skills to do good in the outside world. The best way that we can teach young people leadership is experientially. Getting out there and doing something. Leading by Serving.

Anyone interested in helping with this great cause, call Mr. Bryson Johnson or Mrs. Melissa  Johnson at (919) 469-5555. We need volunteers for the walk and the collection box distribution as well. If your business would like to be a collection center, contact us. :)

Martial Arts Students Encouraged to teach Fire Safety Drill

Johnson's TaeKwonDo encourages everyone who does not yet have a Fire Safety Plan to get one. Practice the plan with your children at least once every year. Remember that you may think that your children do not need to know this-as you will help them escape the home in case of a fire-but your children may have to escape on their own if you are injured.

 


 

 


What does this have to do with Martial Arts? Well, Johnson's TaeKwonDo Academy teaches self-defense. You may think that self-defense involves the ability to defend yourself from an attacker. Though this is very true, Johnson's believes that self-defense comes in all forms-defense from anything that could harm or injure you.

Download the materials so that you can print the fire safety kit out and begin practicing a plan with your family at home today! Time your children so that they can practice efficiency. Don't Wait! It could happen to you.

Martial Artists Walk for ‘Stop Child Trafficking Now.org’

Congratulations to all of the Martial Arts Students who stepped up this past Sunday to teach Self-Escape skills at Wake Med Soccer Park. There was a large crowd that came out-several hundred in fact and a select few of our Johnson's TaeKwonDo students came out to not only teach invaluable personal protection courses, but to walk 5 kilometers for the 'Stop Child Trafficking Now' organization.

For those of you unfamiliar with this group, they fund operatives that will help to eliminate the crime of child trafficking at the root-the predator. Many of the team members that work for the organization are retired Navy Seals, Special Operatives, FBI agents and the such that have a passion for taking down the evil people that choose to harm children. It was a great event and special thanks to John Casablancas for holding the event.

Habitat For Humanity Dedication September 19th, 2009

Johnson's TaeKwonDo Habitat Home Cary, NC Johnson's TaeKwonDo Habitat Home Cary, NC

It was amazing to see all of the hard work that our Taekwondo students put forth finally come to fruition. Our Cary, NC students held a Break-A-Thon in May 2007 and managed to raise just under $8,000 through 99 separate donations. This summer we went out to help with the building process also. With the assistance of the entire Habitat For Humanity of Wake County team, Lot 3 at Falcone Pointe is now complete. The family will soon be moving into it in a couple of weeks, I suppose. Wow students! You all did a great job!! From the fundraising to actually getting out there and building the home, I am proud of all of you.

Johnson's TaeKwonDo and its students truly epitomize the "Walk the Walk" philosophy of martial arts training. We take the training and values that we learn in the dojang and use them to make an impact on the world! Great Job Again!
