At our school, we train students to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in shape, while others come to us 100 pounds overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age; we have had some adults who have started as late as 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 the willingness to try.

The principles of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body. For power you develop the larger, more 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 body's strength into a small, hard striking, surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.

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 results 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 that you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
