Why Taekwondo?

Get In Shape

Taekwondo is an exercise program with a bonus. You learn to defend yourself while toning your body, becoming flexible, and increasing your stamina.  This is an excellent program for those wishing to enhance their cardiovascular system, their balance, and even their hand-eye (and foot-eye!) coordination.

We also offer cardio-kickboxing and one-on-one training.  Our instructors (including Grandmaster Pius himself!) will attend to you personally and ensure that you receive the most from each workout.

Relieve Stress
The comprehensive and rigorous training provided in taekwondo is well known for its stress-reducing benefits.  Breathing techniques, classic martial arts poomsae (forms), and even crying out when releasing your kicks (known as a kihap) will all aid in emotional relief.

Sharpen Mental Concentration
Aside from the physical aspects of the art, taekwondo commands the attention of your intellect and sharpens mental acuity through the learning of precise forms and movements.

Children and Adults are Welcome!
Studies have found that children in taekwondo classes have an increased sense of responsibility, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks, and a higher level of self-esteem. Our adult students appreciate the difference between martial arts training and standard exercise programs. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of health club exercise regimens.
