Our core mission: We make a difference one athlete at a time through the study of Taekwondo. Our instructors will move mountains to help each student know they themselves can also move mountains. No challenge is too great. No limitation is too restrictive.
Each individual’s character, their personhood, is unique. We accept individuals for who they are, and then strive to help them become a better version of themselves through their study and practice of martial arts. We do this through positive reinforcement and challenges all while learning functional self-defense skills. We constantly focus on increasing the self-esteem of every participant in class, and provide a no-embarrassment zone as each athlete can go at their own pace.
Safety is a priority at all times. Our instructors will lead in proper warm ups before each training session including stretching, balance, and core strength techniques. When we practice sparring each athlete wears full protective gear. Each athlete will be challenged at all times, but not at the expense of their own health, safety, or well-being.
Over the years we have formed long term relationships with the student as well as the parents. We have a family atmosphere, and a number of families go through their martial arts training together. We have previous students now in college or the military who stop by while they are in town to train with their Taekwondo family!
We do not expect perfection, but we do expect progress. Each student’s goal is to be better this class than they were the previous class. No one will ever say the study of Taekwondo is easy. Taekwondo is challenging, it takes time, and it takes commitment. Come train with us. Come earn it. It will be worth it!
