Eagle Martial Arts: Nurturing Future Leaders with Taekwondo

At Eagle Martial Arts, we believe in the power of martial arts to shape young minds and instill essential life skills.

The name "EAGLE" is an acronym for "Educating All Generations for Leadership Excellence." Just as the eagle symbolizes freedom and spirit, our martial arts program is dedicated to fostering focus, discipline, hard work, and our core tenets, which include Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit.

Moreover, we emphasize life skills like Teamwork, Goal Setting, and Patience, all of which are vital attributes for future leaders.

Our commitment to these principles stems from the rich traditions established by Grand Master Sid Nelson, who has been teaching Taekwondo since 1990. One of his enduring legacies is the "Yes I Can!" attitude, a mindset that we continue to promote today.

Meet Mr. Jones: A Dedicated Instructor with a Wealth of Experience

Mr. Jones brings over 30 years of experience in martial arts and the military to Eagle Martial Arts. He has traveled extensively within the United States and abroad, working with individuals and teams in both domains.

Mr. Jones's journey into Taekwondo began when he enrolled alongside his two daughters. His proficiency extends beyond Taekwondo, as he is also well-versed in Army Combative training. His competitive spirit has led him to national-level competitions. In his teaching, he emphasizes the significance of gradual progress, advocating a "Crawl, Walk, Run" method.

Throughout their training, students at Eagle Martial Arts experience a range of emotions, including fears, struggles, and achievements. These emotional insights not only help them grow as martial artists but also as individuals, equipping them with qualities and inner strengths that last a lifetime.

Mr. Jones values traditional virtues such as respect, a positive attitude, courage, and good manners. His teaching is goal-oriented, focusing on increasing self-esteem and building valuable experiences through hard work.

Children are drawn to Mr. Jones because he, as a parent himself, understands the importance of motivation and encouragement during their formative years. He actively engages with the community by leading summer camps and instructional black belt camps.

At Eagle Martial Arts Lexington, we believe that the Taekwondo tenets — Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, and Indomitable Spirit — serve as guiding principles in the journey of life. Mr. Jones's expertise extends to developing training programs for individuals and groups, having trained over 700 individuals to date.

If you're looking for an environment where martial arts are fused with character development, discipline, and leadership skills, Eagle Martial Arts is the place to be. Our commitment to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow is reflected in our teachings, instilling not only the techniques of Taekwondo but also the values that shape well-rounded individuals.
