Community Outreach

The culture we live in consistently challenges the values, beliefs, and behaviors of our society.  At K.C. Jones Tiger-Rock Martial Arts we believe in promoting, educating, and assimilating the most principle values of all great individuals into our lives and the lives of those we come in contact with in order to create a better tomorrow.  Building strong communities is a core component of this process as it creates the infrastructure for a group of individuals to provide the support, communication, and strength needed to meet common goals. 

Cycle Tenet: Community

COMMUNITY—is the responsibility to contribute to society regardless of one's position in life. Civic accountability requires us to do our share and to be part of the solution of society's problems. Remember: Every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession a duty. Community means to do good not only for ourselves and those closest to us, but for our Taekwondo centers, our neighborhoods, municipalities, countries, the world, and even the universe. Whether we enjoy positions of privilege or would be considered by some to be disadvantaged, we do not expect entitlements; we have a keen sense of obligation to others. We will never misuse Taekwondo by using what we have learned to do harm to, intimidate, or humiliate others unless we must do so to defend the lives and/or health of ourselves, our countries, our families, our Trainers, our fellow students, or those weaker than ourselves. We are ambassadors of TaeKwonDo, Tiger-Rock, our Trainers and Instructors, and ourselves.

Student cycle community goals:

• Leave conditions better than we find them at all levels of community, including family, city, state, country, world, and universe. 
• If you see someone that needs help do so.  
• Work together in classes. 

And remember: Never underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out and help. This cycle of community reach out to someone who might need a lift. An act of kindness can go a long way.
