International Tae Kwon DO

Tae Kwon Do is an artistic discipline. It's a performing art. Taekwondo techniques are done with graceful and powerful movements. Like other performing arts, students continuously strive to improve the artistic presentation of each technique. Practicing martial art skills develop, strength, flexibility, posture, coordination, and attention to detail. Unlike most other performing arts, the skills can be applied to real-world situations and potentially save someone from serious bodily harm! We believe that everyone can benefit from exposure to this artistic discipline.

Taekwondo is an Olympic sport. It was introduced to the Olympics in Korea in 1988. Unlike many of the other sports that young people are involved with today, competitors are required by rule to demonstrate respect for officials coaches and their fellow competitors.

Self-defense skills are safety skills. We believe that it's important for everyone to learn these self-defense skills. When a person learns and develops self-defense skills, the chance of sustaining an injury due to a fall or an attack is greatly reduced; and the chance of escaping from a mugging, or an abduction attempt is greatly increased! Learning these safety skills does not promote violence; rather, it enables one to avoid becoming a victim of violence and to minimize injury during a fall.
