Benefits for Families

There’s a lot to be said about “A family who plays together, stays together. “Because of today’s hectic schedules, many parents are looking for activities that allow the entire family to spend time together. Yet your child(ren) typically wouldn’t be allowed to attend a health club with you, nor could you join their sports team to play with them. However, while learning INDO Hap Ki Do, you can take class together, side by side, which strengthens a bond of mutual respect between you and your child(ren) while enabling you to have fun together while getting/staying in shape.
