IMPACT TESTIMONIALS

Hi IMPACT,

I thought you might like to hear a little story related to Maddie (Woden MDs and Elite).

Maddie attends a relatively small primary school (Holy Trinity in Curtin). She is in year 6 and there are 35 in her class. This is the year they are the big kids being their last in primary school.

Today the SRC was inducted. (All year 6 pupils have a go but all are inducted for the year at the one time). The ceremony was in front of all the school (about 320 students) and year 6 parents.

One by one each year 6 student entered the hall with a corresponding screen from a powerpoint presentation related to them.

On this screen each child had been asked to nominate a leader that inspired them. As you can imagine there were lots of Barack Obama’s, Princess Mary’s, the Pope (it is a Catholic School) but when Maddie was presented, the inspirational leader for her was……

Danny Crkvencic with the quote “he inspires me because he displays all the qualities needed in Ta Kwon Do”.

Leading up to this they had to do a bit of a project on their ‘leader’ and she downloaded a picture of you from the website (which was on the powerpoint as well) and explained in her essay how you always get them to have a go and try their best. She was really saying things not just about Tae Kwon Do but about the lessons she’s learnt from you more generally.

We didn’t suggest you – she very much selected you as someone making a big difference to her life.

Anyway, just wanted you to know how you have inspired a little girl who used to be so timid and suffered anxiety attacks to the point she couldn’t go to a shopping centre to be this self assured child she is today.

Hope you enjoy this story.

I haven’t been along to class in Deakin for a while, so it was brilliant on Tuesday to see how much my child enjoys her taekwondo.
Not only does she have a smile on her face the whole time, but she seems to have a great grasp of how to correctly perform all the move

Our son has been a member of the Impact team for almost six years, since he was seven years old. We never imagined that he would still be involved in ‘his tae-kwon-do’ after all these years, but thanks to the dedication of the Impact team, he has persevered and achieved so much. From the little boy proudly wearing his white belt, he is now a Junior black belt, working towards his ‘teens’ black belt and also progressing in the Junior Instructor Program.

There are too many names to mention, but we would like to thank Kerstin, Kyle, Michael, Keane, Ewen and especially Danny, for all their hard work, enthusiasm, direction and leadership over the years . These wonderful people have dedicated their own precious time, energy and effort to ensure that our son’s tae-kwon-do journey is a rewarding, enjoyable and valuable experience. Thank you IMPACT for making such a difference in our son’s life.

Jonathan first contacted IMPACT in early January as our 8 and 10 year old sons were interested in trying Martial Arts. Right from the first conversation with Belinda, and her fast and efficient follow-up with everything we needed to know via email we were impressed. We were also really keen on the 30 day trial, as is the case with kids, you never know whether they’re going to really enjoy a new sport etc. so it was great that we didn’t have to sign-up until the boys had been to about 8 sessions.

As it turns out, both boys love Taekwondo with IMPACT, and we couldn’t be happier with how professional IMPACT is in every way (needless to say both Callum and Andrew joined at the end of the 30 day trial).

In particular, I’d like to thank the instructors. They display a fantastic, age appropriate balance of teaching technique, whilst combining discipline and fun and helping the kids to build confidence. The instructors are always happy to help in any way, and tend to show a level of maturity beyond their years. I think they’re wonderful role models for their students!

I came back to Taekwondo after a 20 year hiatus because my daughter (8 years old at the time) took an interest in martial arts. After ringing around I decided that Impact Martial Arts sounded good for youngsters. Boy was I on the money! In the last five years or so a frail and timid little girl has blossomed into a responsible young adult.

Impact has given her not only self-confidence but leadership skills that she now uses at school and self-discipline that is noted around the household. Best thing I ever did for her. Oh, and the old croc is not doing too bad either!

We joined Impact over two years ago not having a clue about TKD, it was more to try and assist my youngest with his motor skills. What we got was a whole lot more.

Both my children love their classes, they have found awesome role models in Master Danny and their instructors.

Impact encourages and supports its members not matter what their ability and skill level both in TKD and personally. I feel that not only have we joined a wonderful club which excels at TKD, but we have also made some wonderful friendships both the children and us as parents.

Hi Team Impact

My thoughts and belief about Impact were confirmed tonight: a thoroughly impressive organisation run by Master Danny who is an inspiring athlete, an absolute gentleman, and a good guy to boot! I don’t think I will EVER be able to thank you enough for inspiring us, and giving me a boost of self confidence to tackle physical challenges as well as mental challenges. As for the rest of the crew, what can I say…a truly inspiring bunch…Kesh, Kyle, Ross, Keane, Ewan….all truly excellent, and just beaut people. How nice it was to be part of a club that made a 10 year old and a 51 year old feel welcome.

Thank you thank you thank you….

Your constant emphasis to be responsible for your health & fitness has really contributed to my kids being a lot more health conscious! They started watching what they eat and enjoy cooking healthy meals. They are also enthusiastic in practicing Taekwondo often to get fit! Their spectacular transformation is only possible because You & the Impact coaches have been truly inspirational, always supportive and constantly encouraging them to believe they can!
