Fitness – The principles of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body. For power you will develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you progress in Taekwondo your training, you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your body’s strength into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.

Self-Defense – When the speed and power developed through Taekwondo training is used in a self-defense situation against soft vulnerable parts of an attacker’s body, the result can be incredible. The method of training increases self-defense abilities that are efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow.

Reward Based Martial Arts Program – Belt Colors

For each level of training that the student accomplishes some form of reward is given that the student wears as part of their uniform. The most recognizable of these markings is the color of their belt. This reward and recognition represents the foundation of the training system; goal setting and personal victories that come from accomplishing these objectives. Each success is rewarded, providing increased confidence in their training and personal lives.

Students learn and practice techniques that are specific to their skill level. Progressive training is incorporated to vary workouts and to continually improve the student’s abilities. Students learn sequences of techniques called ”forms” or ”patterns” and practical self-defense techniques for their skill-levels that must be demonstrated to the instructor’s satisfaction before moving on in their training. Learning and being able to appropriately use these techniques will require memorization skills, along with the ability to mentally process situations and to react to them appropriately.
