Four and a half year old Jada Anderson surprised onlookers as she demonstrated form and required techniques earning her the honor of being the first 4 1/2 year old to receive her yellow belt in the 15 year history of Oh Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do Martial Arts School.

“Jada is very bright;” said Master Greg Lloyd, Instructor. “She has worked extremely hard to execute her form and techniques. With kids this age that committed, it sets the foundation for their life successes. They learn discipline and focus early and apply those principles to their everyday life.”

Master Lloyd also credits Jada’s parents; Donnell and Daphane Anderson with spending the time helping her work on and develop her techniques.

“The art of self-defense requires a dedicated family,” Lloyd added. “Most people only recognize the physical aspect of martial arts. However, Tae Kwon Do’s greatest benefits are learning respect, patience and self-control. Students acquire concentration through repetition and training.”

Master Lloyd strives to help his students achieve their personal goals. The school instills confidence through encouragement and discipline.

“Our motto at Oh Do Kwan is: “If better is possible then good is not enough,” he said.
The school is open to children and adults with weekly classes. Oh Do Kwan is located at 102 N. 85th Parkway, Suite M Fayetteville, Georgia.
