Taekwondo is safe and fun for students of all ages and physical abilities. Classes are supervised by expert instructors. All students are taught techniques in a step by step manner and at their own pace.
Separating classes by belt levels, a thorough stretching routine, matted flooring and the use of protective safety equipment are all part of our commitment to ensuring student safety.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, tae (태) means “to strike or break with foot”; kwon (권) means “to strike or break with fist”; and do (도) means “way,” “method,” or “art.” Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as “the art of the foot and fist” or “the art of kicking and punching.”
As many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, meditation, and philosophy. In 1989, Taekwondo was claimed as the world’s most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners. Gyeorugi, a type of sparring, has been an Official Olympic event since 2000.
There are two branches of taekwondo development:
* “Traditional Taekwondo” typically refers to the martial art as it was practised in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military; in particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history.
* “Sport Taekwondo” has evolved in the decades since then and has a somewhat different focus, especially in terms of its emphasis on speed and competition (as in Olympic sparring) and which is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF).
The art in general emphasizes kicks thrown from a mobile stance, employing the leg’s greater reach and power (compared to the arm). Taekwondo training generally includes a system of blocks, kicks, punches, and open-handed strikes and may also include various take-downs or sweeps, throws, and joint locks.
Some taekwondo instructors also incorporate the use of pressure points, known as jiapsul, as well as grabbing self-defense techniques borrowed from other martial arts, such as hapkido and judo.

Parenting can be extremely challenging, even when you have a gifted and bright child. Here are some of the things that we can hep you with your child:
• Discipline
• Is your child struggling with school? Do they fail to complete their homework and study for tests? do you help you around the house? Do they show signs of lack of focus and/or diagnosed with ADHD?
• Develop Character
• Do you worry that your child follows more than leads? Do they lack positive role models that encourage leadership skills and reward good behavior?
• Self-Esteem
• Does your child shy away from experience and making friends? Do you worry that their personality will keep them from realizing their true potential?
• Stand up to Bullies
• Is your child getting picked on at school? If push comes to shove do you worry that your child won't be able to defend him or herself?
• Exercise and Fitness
• As childhood obesity levels climb, more children suffer as a result. Does your child lack activities that promote physical fitness, eating healthy and mental well-being?
