Self-esteem & Martial Arts

From the introduction of the bow-in protocol, stances, kicks, and punches to ground engagement and stand-up fighting, our students learn self-defense while embracing the essential philosophy of TaeKwonDo;

courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.

Expectations & Commitment

A Dobok or uniform will be worn during every student’s training. A student’s first class is an introduction to bow-in protocol, a very important tradition in martial arts. Students will learn various stances used in TaeKwonDo.

Students are assessed on their individual abilities and dedication to the basic beliefs of our sport before they progress to the more demanding aspects of TaeKwonDo. As each student progresses in their training, blocks, kicks, and punches will be taught.

Once proficient in their training, the student will be introduced to the Moo Duk Kwan system, learning advanced self-defense or battle techniques. Moo Duk Kwan is very physical training with sparring and hands-on moves including ground engagement and stand-up fighting.

Our Mission

St. Clair’s School of Tae Kwon Do is committed to fostering confidence and developing positive attitudes in our students. Self-confidence, self-esteem, and empowerment translate into many aspects of life. From home to the playground, to the office and the boardroom, we are committed to helping our students achieve personal success in life.

Our primary focus is on developing each student’s skills by nurturing their individual abilities. We will teach our students both physical skills as well as positive mental skills that they will carry with them to work, play, or family, with a confident and enthusiastic outlook.

About
Grandmaster St. Clair

Grandmaster St. Clair started his Martial Arts training at the age of twelve, training in Moo Duk Kwan and TaeKwonDo in San Mateo and San Francisco. He worked hard, training and entering local and state tournaments. Grandmaster St. Clair received his first Black Belt on May 21, 1981. This was just the beginning! Grandmaster St. Clair now holds an 8th Degree belt in MDK/TKD.

I have been blessed to have taught over 1,000 students. Many have been with me for over seventeen years.

In 1993, he opened his dojang in San Francisco, California.  His dojang recently celebrated twenty-five years of awakening the “Warrior Spirit” in his students and teaching the tenets of TaeKwonDo.

Grandmaster St. Clair has been inducted seven times into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. He continues to share his love of the martial arts and his joy in teaching. Grandmaster St. Clair believes that the practice of TaeKwonDo opens paths to courtesy, leadership, courage, and perseverance.

I love to bring my knowledge to all ages and will continue to heighten awareness of martial arts in our community in San Francisco and the bay area.
