Taekwondo
For Teens and Adults

We train our students to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in shape, while other have come to us out of shape. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started as late as age 65, and have still earned their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.

Taekwondo is a sport for all ages and all ability levels. Whether you are in top shape looking for a new twist to your fitness training or you are overweight looking to improve your health, we can work with you needs to help you succeed. No student is asked to exceed their physical limitations including disabilities. Students work at their own pace and their own skill level in order to get the most out of their training.

Here are some benefits you can expect from training in Taekwondo:

• Fitness: The principles Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body. For power you 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 you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your 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 is used in a self defense situation against the vulnerable parts of an attacker’s body, the result can be incredible. Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strengths, such as power in the legs while learning a method of self defense efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And Confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
  
  
• Self Confidence: This does not come naturally for many people, but self confidence can be developed over a period of time. Through Taekwondo, as you accomplish new goals, your confidence level increases. Taekwondo instills a sense of discipline and self confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your life.
