My Martial Arts

Offering class in traditional Korean Tae kwon do

Taekwondo is the Korean martial art of unarmed self-defense with an emphasis on kicks thrown from a mobile stance. Taekwondo, which translates as “the way of the hand and the foot,” develops strength, speed, balance, flexibility and stamina.

Students wear a white uniform called a “dobok” (based on traditional Korean peasant garb) and a belt whose color indicates their rank – all students begin Taekwondo as a white belt.

In taekwondo classes, students practice their forms, learn self-defense techniques and can choose to participate in sparring.

To advance in taekwondo, students demonstrate their skills in front of Masters of Taekwondo. If they demonstrate sufficient knowledge of their level of taekwondo, they advance in rank.
