There is no municipal, pr'ovincial or federal funding attached to the proâ€" ject. For more information about the nonâ€"profit taekwondo classes call 632â€"3097. For information about the Bronte Youth Centre contact the cenâ€" tre or Michalski at the village constaâ€" ble‘s office at §25â€"2737. But one need only spend a few minutes with Choung to glimpse his enthusiasm and vision for the centre. Once the centre is financially staâ€" ble, its programs can grow to being a dropâ€"in centre, the host centre for dances or community events, almost anything. Right now yoga classes and the taekwondo classes draw in the local residents and youths who see it as a boon to their community. Moms who avail themselves of couches in the youth centre, watch their offspring and brag about the quickly visible improvements in manâ€" ners and sense of personal achieveâ€" ment in their children as well as the physical "burn off"" the lessons proâ€" vide.The centre has come completely out of efforts of the community. He loves his art and its â€" and his â€" philosophies, philosophies that apparâ€" ently evoke an interest and a response from youths. As students clad in their taeckwonâ€" do uniforms bow to their teacher yelling "Sir" as they go through variâ€" ous manoeuvres, parents explain that‘s all part of the training. So too does single motherâ€"ofâ€"three, Kelly Dehmer who said the $78/month for three children to attend three times a week is a bargain. It‘s not the money that Choung looks to. Bronte resident and a former recipâ€" ient of the same provincial crime preâ€" vention award as Choung received has her son in the program. She too is contemplating an adult class. Operating a taekwondo school in Toronto for over a decade, Choung who moved his family to Oakville several years ago, has young taekwonâ€" do students, some blackbelts, teaching courses at the youth centre at very reaâ€" sonable prices. For Choung, it‘s offensive for peoâ€" ple to consider taekwondo as violent. The Koreanâ€"born master who spent some 20 years perfecting his art to attain the title of "master" believes the discipline, selfâ€"achievement, selfâ€" esteem and obedience leamed through the study of the art is just what some youths may need. Choung, whose wife owns and operates a Bronte convenience store, said he‘s seen Michalski chasing the youths from one hangout location to another. He said he‘s also seen younger youths being egged on by older ones to get involved in criminal activities and fighting. "There are so many idle youth in Bronte. Sometimes you see them in the wee small hours. The centre is an advantageous thing because it can give the kids a place and an outlet for occupy their free time, to counter some of the negative things there are to do out on the streets," summarized Michalski who‘s been Bronte‘s village constable for several years. English Riding School 3445 Dundas W. (Hwy. 5) Oakville (1% miles west of Hwy. 25)827â€"4678 ENGLISH RIDING LESSONS FOR ALL AGES A board of directors for the centre was formed after the Bronte Community Consultation Committee identified a need in the area. That transformation is in no small part due to the efforts of Choung, who is now offering nonâ€"profit taekwondo classes in order to help the centre get onto a firm financial footing. BERTIN STABLES The night after receiving his award at a ceremony in Niagara Falls, Choung could be found readying for the 5:30 p.m. start to a taekwondo class in what used to be a Bronte pool hall but which over the last two years has been slowly taking shape as the Bronte Youth Centre. Recently, Choung received a presâ€" tigious crime prevention award from Ontario‘s Solicitor General â€" one of only 11 in the province â€" for his per sonal efforts and dedication to the nonâ€"profit Bronte Youth Centre. The praises for the coach of Canada‘s national taekwondo team and the president of the International Taekwondo Association however go beyond the local parents and Halton Regional Police Village Constable Mike Michalski. Many Bronte parents are singin; the praises of Oakville resident Master Young Su Choung.
