Taekwon-do is a military martial art, formulated by the late General Choi Hong Hi. This martial art boasts to be the most widely implemented martial art in the world, used by militaries globally including the Korean military (it's base of origin).
Taekwon-do brags acrobatic kicking styles and lightning fast hand techniques. This high energy, fast paced art instils the equilibrium of mental and physical aptitude, developing its practitioners into world class athletes and even better human beings. Not every student can be a world champion, but we are all capable of fulfilling our dreams, exploring past the limitations set within our own minds and achieve goals bigger than our dreams of today. Taekwon-do teaches us to access the tools to create those realities.
Why Taekwon-Do?
Taekwon-do defines the balance in life producing a perfect synergy between mental and physical wellness. A synergy that has been passed down to us by some of the greatest minds, hearts and warriors in history.
