TAEKWONDO TIGERS : AGES 4 - 7 In Becks' Martial Arts Tigers, we help young children learn to focus and to show respect. Taekwondo provides a natural and fun avenue to seek improvement in these areas. Many of our students, including those struggling with autism and ADHD, see improvement in focus and respect thanks to taekwondo training. Tigers learn to: Stand Like a Black Belt: Stand Like a Black Belt: This emphasizes body focus, the ability to stand still when asked. While standing like a black belt, students are also expected to focus on their instructor. Behave Like a Black Belt: Tigers say “Yes, sir!” and “Yes, ma’am!” with confidence during class. We encourage Tigers to continue behaving like a black belt at home and at school. This includes listening to their parents and teachers and being respectful to their peers and siblings. Tiger Homework Sheets: Tigers complete homework sheets to ensure they are giving 100% at home and at school. Some homework sheets focus on building good character qualities. For example, for a “good deeds” homework sheet, Tigers record the thoughtful actions they have done for their friends or family over an eight-week testing period.
TAEKWONDO JUNIORS: AGES 8 - 12 Our Junior’s program is designed for kids ages 8-12. While furthering their Taekwondo training, students will grow in focus and discipline. We support parents and teachers by requiring students to complete a signed homework sheet prior to each belt testing. Parents and teachers are given the opportunity to weigh in on whether or not students are demonstrating good character qualities and integrity at home and at school. Students who are diligent about their Taekwondo training can earn their black belts in the course of a few years. Junior students learn to: Be Respectful: All Becks' Martial Arts students are expected to treat their instructors, peers and families with respect. We support parents experiencing behavioral issues at home by delaying student testing at the parent’s request until students demonstrate improvement in their behavior. Memorization: To earn their next rank, students must memorize a series of moves called a form as well as self-defense material. Memorizing content improves their ability to learn at school and to focus on goals. Anti-Bullying Self-Defense: Bullying is a genuine concern for many parents. Many of our students have either experienced or witnessed bullying at school. BMA staff teaches students practical self-defense so they can safely leave a threatening situation. We also teach them the verbal and emotional skills required to cope with bullying. Homework Sheets: During the eight-week testing cycle, students must complete a themed homework sheet. Each cycle encourages growth in a different character trait, such as respect, self-control, and integrity. Both a parent and a teacher must sign this sheet, confirming that our students have been demonstrating these traits at home and at school.

Business Review
Tara L Morton reviewed Becks' Martial Arts — 5 star Most people, when faced with a slew of kids under the age of seven, just try and maintain the chaos. Mr. and Mrs. Beck are not only masters at their craft, but also exceptional at leading children in being respectful and in developing self-discipline. With humor and strength, my child has learned not only how to protect herself, but also how to “be a better person” (in her words).
Cassandra Licon reviewed Becks' Martial Arts — 5 star The Becks are, hands down, the best martial arts instructors in town. They’re enthusiastic about their jobs and so patient with the students! My kids have been lucky enough to be taught by the Becks for over three years now. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to start or continue their martial arts practice.
Jessica Quadri reviewed Becks' Martial Arts — 5 star You will be hard pressed to find a better martial arts experience anywhere in Fort Collins, the state of Colorado, or even the country for that matter. Mr. and Mrs. Beck are true master’s at what they do, and my family and I have benefited in so many immeasurable positive ways since beginning Taekwondo with them 4 years ago. The pride, love, and respect they have for their students shines brightly in every aspect of Becks’ Martial Arts, and you won’t find a more supportive, fun, caring environment anywhere else in town!
