What Is Taekwondo? | Korean Martial Arts & Self-Defense

Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art and one of the oldest forms of self-defense in the world, with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Recognized globally, Taekwondo became an official Olympic sport, boosting its popularity as a dynamic and competitive martial art.

Practicing Taekwondo helps individuals develop speed, balance, confidence, self-esteem, and most importantly, respect, making it ideal for kids, teens, and adults looking for fitness and personal growth.

Both teens and adults learn the benefits of self-confidence and self-discipline, and how these benefit them in their everyday lives at work, school, on the playground, with friends and in public situations. A confident, martial arts trained teen or adult is better focused and more aware of their surroundings, and is more prepared to handle social situations that arise in everyday life.


Our martial arts classes are designed to improve flexibility, balance, endurance, and strength while teaching self defense techniques.  Many of our adults join with little or no experience.  Our instructors are always receptive to your questions and will take the time to answer you step-by-step, with enthusiasm and patience.  We promise that getting involved in one of our Martial Arts classes will be one of the best decisions you've made.  


Benefits include:

  • ​Learning Self-Defense
  • Self-confidence and self-discipline

LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

This program is by invitation only.   If your child is recognized as a potential leader, this is considered a great honor.  Our student leaders come in early or stay late to help out classes of lower belts a couple times a week.  This allows our leaders a chance to assist the instructor and recognize when others need improvement.  They are guided by our instructor on how to correct these situations.  The lower belts benefit by having more personalized attention.
