The purpose of this study was to determine what effect, if any, the martial arts programme and the instruction offered by the Traditional Taekwondo Institute has on the lives of students, with particular attention to creative abilities and character. Two specific research questions were asked: 1. what effect, if any, has traditional martial arts training had on the academic performance and behaviour of students 2. how has martial arts made a difference in the lives of students Two survey instruments were designed and distributed to gather relevant information. The results suggested that martial art training, in addition to improving the physical fitness levels of students, is also instrumental in aiding the development of self confidence and self belief. This enhanced self concept enables students to calmly and analytically appraise a variety of situations with sufficient assurance to identify a range of actions to achieve positive outcomes. It assists them to set goals and targets, devise solutions to problems, and to overcome obstacles on the way to achieving those goals. These abilities and attributes are fundamental to the development of creativity and their growth and maturity is influenced by the environment and life experiences of the individual. For the martial art student, the instructor plays a pivotal role in the creation of an environment that can nurture creativity and positive values through encouraging productivity, problem solving and the use of imagination. The instructor is identified as someone who can inspire students to translate the lessons learned in the dojang into their personal, work or academic activities. The implications of this responsibility for all instructors are enormous. They must all evaluate the legacy that they are leaving for their own students and those who come after them to ensure it is worthy of those who taught them.
