In line with EYS’ philosophy, Sun Yi’s Academy takes a holistic approach to personal development, physical fitness, and self-defense. The Academy offers a wide range of classes, with students ranging from 4 to 74 years in age, and a family friendly atmosphere. Tae Kwon Do is an extremely effective martial art for teaching self-defense, improving physical fitness, and enhancing self-confidence and self-discipline. In addition to learning self-defense and improving their physical fitness, students at Sun Yi’s Academy learn how to apply the Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do to their lives, both on and off the mat: Courtesy, Integrity, Self-Discipline, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit. Every class ends with a discussion of one of these principles and how we can apply it to every aspect of our lives. The diverse array of classes includes: • The Tiny Tigers class is 30 minutes long and designed specifically for children 4 to 6 years of age. • The Kids Classes are designed for children ages 7 and 14, and are one hour long each. • For older students, there are Classes for Teens and Adults 14 years of age and older, and also have Family Classes for any student over the age of 7, so you can attend class with your children. The staff of Black Belt Instructors are all highly trained, both in martial arts and in education. Senior Master Lewis, Sun Yi’s Academy Chief Instructor, is a 7th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, a former National Champion and Tenured Professor. Discover what the Sun Yi’s Family is all about.
