Tae Kwon Do

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that combines the hands and feet as a method of unarmed self-defense. Instruction consists of physical conditioning and forms to develop grace, coordination and technique. Kicking, blocking and striking drills along with controlled sparring and self-defense techniques are taught as well. Qualified black belt instructors teach proper techniques and monitor practice within a structured teaching environment for students of all ages. Taekwondo can also bring out a heightened sense of confidence, physical awareness and well-being in each and every student. All students begin at white belt. To advance to a higher belt and rank, students must demonstrate their progress at a promotion test held at the American Taekwondo Academy. Student uniforms, patches and protective equipment are all available through the instructor.
