Tae Kwon Do
Tae = To strike or break with foot
Kwon = To strike or break with fist

Tae Kwon Do is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics. We offer Tae Kwon Do classes for ages 5 and older.
Hapkido
Hap = Harmony
Ki = Inner strength
Do = Art of, the way of
Hapkido is an eclectic art centered around inner strength. Hapkido is well known throughout the world for it’s outstanding self-defense techniques. It uses the striking & kicking skills popular in styles like Tae Kwon Do and blends them with the ease and flow of arts like Aikido, using the opponent’s energy for personal power.
It is a blend of offensive hand and foot techniques, defensive throwing, rolling and restraining maneuvers, with the underlying theme of obtaining physical and mental balance and confidence in oneself. Breathing exercises are incorporated as a means to relieve stress and become more “centered†in both mind and body. Hapkido does not require vigorous strength since movements originate from a relaxed and natural position from where opposing energy is controlled and redirected. Men and women from ages 9 to 70+ participate in classes.
Hapkido is an excellent vehicle to acquire self and family protection skills, self-confidence, discipline, fitness, focus and self-esteem while enhancing nonviolent conflict resolution, goal setting abilities and strength of character — creating productive, healthy people. Available to ages 12+.
