Tae Won Do is a Korean martial art which is one of the most widely practiced martial arts discipline in the world.
Taekwondo is considered a hard-style martial art, involving blocking, kicking and hand techniques. The most impressive part of the art is the variety, speed and power of kicking techniques, often demonstrated in the breaking of boards. Not only do students learn self-defense, they gain greater flexibility, balance, coordination and aerobic fitness.
A student's self-confidence and self-esteem also increase as they progress through the ranks. Far from teaching aggressive behaviour, Taekwondo teaches the self-discipline to walk away from unnecessary confrontation. Students are taught only to use self-defense when there is no way out and they are in imminent danger. Although not mandatory, we encourage students to practice their skills at sanctioned tournaments.
Whether you’re completely new to Tae Kwon Do or switching schools, it is important to know that our Black Belt certificates come directly from the World Taekwondo Headquarters (the Kukkiwon) in Seoul, Korea and that our certification is recognized world-wide.
