Confidence * Discipline * Fitness

Dear Parent,

My father started me in martial arts classes at the age of six. He started taking lessons when he was a teenager. His teacher was Grand Master James B.C. Yu, who has been teaching in Ann Arbor for over 40 years. My name is Andy DeJesus, I am the owner of B.C. Yu Martial Arts Center and it is my goal to continue Grand Master Yu’s work.

As a child I regularly wanted to quit taking lessons. My father would not allow it. He knew that martial arts training would make a big difference in my life. Now I am very grateful for his persistence because it has been a tremendous influence in my life. I have experienced first hand how it builds character and confidence in children. Now as a teacher this experience has also given me a great perspective on how to work with children. It has improved my ability to relate to them, motivate them, empathize with them, and help them through the tough spots where most students quit.

Our goal is to help the aggressive child and the timid child to meet in the middle, at the healthy assertive level. I meet children who have a low self esteem, a lack of discipline and the inability to control their body. In 3 months, as I tie on a yellow belt that they have earned, I see the same child with a proud smile of achievement, a new attitude of respect, and improved mental and physical control.

This is important and exciting work. It is gratifying to help parents raise children who exhibit the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. We help children stand up for themselves and we help parents who are interested in producing healthy human beings. At our school the martial arts is much more than just punches and kicks. Join us--and give your child the gifts of confidence, discipline, and fitness.

Best wishes,
Master Andy DeJesus

Dear Prospective Student,

For over 40 years in Ann Arbor, the B.C. Yu martial arts center has been dedicated to helping adults empower their lives through martial arts training. The most obvious benefits of training are getting in shape and learning techniques that can save your life. But there are so many other rewards as well. Our program motivates you to set and achieve goals. Our classes relieve stress and increase your confidence. A confidence that transfers to the rest of your life.

Our school gives you a community of support. It's a family martial arts school where friendships are made and where complicated family schedules are accommodated. Students report that they experience a sense of well-being while training with us. They describe their experience as being mentally and emotionally empowering as well as physically energizing. They speak of becoming more aware, mindful, and focused while becoming increasingly fit and proficient at defending themselves. They speak of receiving affirmation for genuine effort and accomplishment, which translates into self-worth that is invaluable.

The best reason for starting martial arts is your own, but whatever motivation you have for getting started you'll find our staff ready and willing to help you attain your goals. Our school is founded on the principles of teaching excellence, personal attention and tradition. We provide you with the most complete and effective methods to help you reach your full potential. At the B. C. Yu Martial Arts Center, our instructors are personally selected, not only for their martial arts skill, but also for their ability to effectively communicate their knowledge and understanding to students of all ages. We know that each student has different goals and strive to help you reach yours.

Be assured that you do not need to be an elite athlete or even especially coordinated to achieve great results at the B.C. Yu Martial Arts Center. Our method of training allows students to learn faster and easier than in the past. It has been my honor and privilege to serve hundreds of students over the years and I look forward to working with you in a profoundly positive experience.
