Duddley’s Taekwondo Academy encourages Solomon Islanders to embrace discipline, self-respect and healthy living through regular training in taekwondo.
In a recent social media post, the academy said martial arts training helps individuals grow in confidence and character.
“You will learn to respect yourself from challenges you face. If you regularly and systematically challenge yourself then you will develop a great level of self-respect.
“The main reason that people are happy to walk around showing a lack of respect to those around them is because they don’t respect themselves – the more personal challenges being overcome daily, the more respectful a society becomes,” the Academy said.
Beyond character building, the academy highlights taekwondo as a powerful sport for improving physical fitness, mental focus and emotional resilience—qualities that support healthier lifestyles and stronger communities.
“Real martial arts training can absolutely change the society we live in; you just have to get started,”
Interested individuals wishing to join classes can visit the academy at White River or call 8554093 for further enquiries and recruitment information.
