​In brief, Taekwondo literally means: Tae – to jump or kick or smash with one’s foot, Kwon – to punch or destroy with the hand or fist, Do – the art or the way or method.  

​TaeKwonDo is derived from ancient forms of Korean martial arts; a method of weaponless self-defense that requires the use of hands and feet.  TaeKwonDo is the base martial art that we teach; however, techniques from various martial art systems are utilized to make our practice more complete in terms of self-defense.

RESPECT AUTHORITY
