FWTMA Mission Statement
Five White Tigers Martial Arts (FWTMA) is dedicated to Black Belt excellence.
This spirit permeates all students and ranks within our school. FWTMA focuses its efforts and energy into developing its students so that they achieve results higher than they originally thought possible. We do this by creating a family atmosphere where students may come and train together, secure in the knowledge that they are among friends who will help achieve their personal goals.
We expect our students to train hard in each class that they attend and to adopt the learnings which the instructors share with them. FWTMA maintains high expectations for its students. These expectations manifest themselves in the success that our students achieve in the personal, professional, and scholastic lives. Because of our commitment to excellence, our students also achieve success at local and regional tournaments, bringing home many trophies.
We challenge students to measure their progress against themselves and not against other students. This approach requires discipline from the student, yet instills confidence as they begin to see the results of their training.
How can we claim “Passion for Excellence” since 1987?
The name may be new but the school has a 20 years plus history. The school was founded in 1987 when Grandmaster Smith Sr. opened a “Roberts School of Karate” in Goshen Ohio. In 1995 Grandmaster opened a second school in Loveland, Ohio where he changed the name to “Smith Martial Arts Academy”.
In 2004 Master Trusty took over ownership and operations. In 2008 Master Trusty changed the name to “Five White Tigers Martial Arts”. As you can see the name has changed, but our dedication and commitment to martial arts has not. We take pride in being one of the oldest schools in the Loveland, Milford, and Goshen area. Our school has been an elite school for the last 20 plus years and we will continue to carry that tradition on into the 21st century.
Student/Parent Responsibilties
It is important to recognize that results will vary from student to student. A student’s ability to achieve their goals is greatly impacted by the amount of effort that student puts into his/her training. While training at FWTMA is important in identifying the areas where a student needs work, it is up to the student to work on these areas away from the school.
Only by working on these techniques at home, can a student realistically expect to achieve the proficiency required to promote to the next level. Parents have a duty to ensure that their children are working on the techniques that their children have been instructed when at home. Doing so, will enable your child to get the most from their Tae Kwon Do experience.
Promotion to the next rank is based upon the following criteria:
- Proficient demonstration of the required techniques and elements
- Positive Attitude
- Respect for the art of Tae Kwon Do, higher ranks, and fellow students
- Discipline and hard work
Tae Kwon Do can be a wonderful, lifetime experience for you and/or your child. Our goal at Five White Tigers Martial Arts is to provide an atmosphere of learning in order to accomplish this goal. Our success as a school is based upon your success in achieving those goals which you have set for yourself.
We are glad that you have chosen to join our family and will commit our resources in helping you/your child to achieve the results you desire.
