Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a powerful blend of physical fitness and mental discipline. With a foundation in respect and self-control, Taekwondo empowers students with effective self-defense skills and a path to personal growth.

WHAT IS TAEKWONDO?

Taekwondo, a traditional Korean martial art, is a dynamic and disciplined practice. The name “Taekwondo” means to kick (Tae), punch (kwon) and do. Today, Taekwondo is an official Olympic sport.

Characterized by high, fast, and spinning kicks, Taekwondo places a significant focus on offensive and defensive techniques. These precise and powerful kicks are complemented by hand techniques, blocks, strikes, and various stances, creating a well-rounded form of martial arts.

Beyond the physical aspects, Taekwondo incorporates a code of ethics and principles that emphasize courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and self-control. Students of Taekwondo are not only trained in the art of self-defense but are also placed on a path of self-discovery and development.

Like many other martial arts, Taekwondo is linked to a belt-ranking system, with each color belt representing a specific level of proficiency. From the beginner white belt to the advanced black belt, students progress through a series of poomsae, which are choreographed sequences that simulate combat against multiple opponents.

Whether pursued for physical fitness, self-defense, or personal development, Taekwondo is a journey of continuous learning, fostering discipline, respect, confidence, and perseverance.
