Welcome to MTR Martial Arts! When a student begins his or her journey as a white belt, they start the long-dedicated path to achieving Black Belt. In martial arts, the Black Belt indicates that a student has reached a high level of excellence and knowledge in their art. Much like an Eagle Scout, not all students aspire to become a Black Belt. However, as in life, it is the journey, not the destination that is beneficial.

Students enrolled at MTR Martial Arts for various reasons. Some enroll to gain self-confidence, some for self-discipline and focus, others for purely self-defense, some for social interaction, and others for physical fitness and flexibility improvement. The truth is, you will receive all of these benefits and more as you dedicate yourself to the hard work needed to attain each level in Tae Kwon Do.

The goal of a Martial Artists is to better themself physically, mentally, and spiritually leading them to become a better person. Through the tenets of Tae Kwon Do the art aims to instill the principles of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit, and modesty in each of its practitioners. 

Sincerely,

Master Matthew Thomas Reese
