What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo represents 2000 years of evolution in Korean martial arts. Taekwondo is
the scientific use of the body for fitness and defense.
Taekwondo as a fitness program
 Taekwondo excercises the mind
Through the exercise and
movements involved in
taekwondo training, the power of
concentration is improved in
order to accomplish the required
techniques,  self-confidence is
improved as the individual
achieves ever increasingly
difficult goals,  self-control is
improved by learning to respond
to any situation in a positive way,  
and self-discipline is improved
that force is taught as a
defensive tool rather than an
aggressive weapon.
Taekwondo training is an excellent means of
achieving overall body conditioning and
weight control.  All parts of the body are
used in a typical Taekwondo workout as well
as learning valuable self-defense skills.

Benefits to children
Each student progresses
individually and everyone is
involved.  There are no "bench
warmers" in Taekwondo.  This
allows everybody to reach their
own potential, at their own pace.
Children learn respect, courtesy,
confidence, self-control,and self-defense
while participating in a good exercise
program.  All these things help improve
attitudes and grades.
Exciting
Taekwondo lessons are dynamic and challenging for people who are athletic,
energetic, awkward, shy, bold, nice, or out of shape.
