Taekwondo is a Korean martial system of physical education and mental development. Taekwondo (also spelled Tae Kwon Do, Taekwon-do, 태 권도) literally means “Foot Fist Way” or loosely translates to “The way of the fist and foot.” Taekwondo is the national sport of South Korea and an official medal event of the Olympic Summer Games.
Traditional Taekwondo consists of a variety of striking and blocking methods with the hands / fists, elbows, and knees, with great emphasis on offensive and defensive kicking techniques.
Our Taekwondo program focuses on a rich technical understanding of the entire Taekwondo discipline (forms, sparring, etc.), delivering tangible results in fitness, stamina, co-ordination, balance, and flexibility.
In addition to the physical aspects, our Taekwondo program also promotes discipline, respect, confidence, focus, and overall personal cultivation.
Our Taekwondo class curriculum was historically founded with the Chang Moo Kwan (장 무 콴) lineage of Taekwondo and adheres to the current Olympic, Kukkiwon and World Taekwondo Federation standards.
At our academy you will find:
- Kukkiwon and WTMF certified instructors
- Olympic style sparring sanctioned by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF)
- Decades of experience (since 1959) preparing our students for life both inside and outside the Dojang.
- And most importantly, real, no-nonsense, authentic, Taekwondo instruction.
