Taekwon-Do Classes

Taekwon-Do is the art of using the body for the purposes of self-defense and fitness. All of our Taekwon-Do programs focus on improving the mind and the body.

Various components of Taekwon-Do include fundamental Movements (Gibon Yonsup), Tul (patterns), Dallyon (conditioning), Self defense (Ho Sin Su) and Matsogi (sparring). Fundamental Movements are the basic training and are necessary for sparring and patterns.

Patterns training actually places you in a hypothetical situation where you must defend yourself and react to counter-attack, and attack motions, against several imaginary opponents, it provides you with flexibility, coordination, balance and becomes a conditioned reflex movement.

Dallyon training will help you learn how to condition your body while at the same time toughen your attacking and blocking tools.

Self defense is advanced training. It will teach you how to make use of your opponent’s momentum and force, how to release from grabbing and choking.

Sparring is the physical application of attack and defense techniques gained from pattern and fundamental exercises against actual moving opponents under various situations. It enhances courage, tactics, maneuvers, coordination, agility and peripheral vision. All forms of Taekwon-Do provide a great cardio workout.
