Principles-
Tae Kwon Do, as we know it today originated in Korea, and has elements of many martial arts but most notably, Japanese Karate. Characterized by powerful high kicks and a linear style, TKD was first taught to the Korean Military and later adopted as an Olympic Sport. Our school promotes a more practical self-defense-oriented approach to learning Tae Kwon Do.
You will be taught how to defend yourself, in order to become confident in a multitude of real-world situations.
Tae Kwon Do provides excellent fitness and flexibility training, which you will find very useful even in non-combative situations.
