HAPKIDO – Teen and Adult 

Hapkido is the art of harmonious or coordinated power. It can be viewed as an amalgam of several arts because of the wide range of techniques that are encompassed within its scope. Some have even referred to Hapkido as the original mixed martial art. This view only paints a partial picture of what Hapkido consists of as there are many health and life improving aspects that go far beyond the combative applications of the art. Our  training is rooted in tradition but with a realistic approach for application to the modern world.

FITNESS – Teen and Adult

Our fitness program may differ from what you are familiar with. We stress a whole body approach toward obtaining your strength and fitness goals. Rather than isolating muscle groups to achieve a certain “look,” we train the muscle groups of your body to communicate and work in harmony with one another. This type of training proves the old adage about the whole being greater than the sum of parts. You will get in shape aerobically, firm muscles and increase flexibility with our training methods. An added benefit is that you will acquire basic martial art skills along the way. No uniforms are required for this class, the only stipulation is that approriate attire and proper shoes are worn.

TAEKWONDO – Tiger Tots

Our Taekwondo program is the result of many years of refinement and is designed to be challenging physically and mentally for children.

It is important to bear in mind that learning Taekwondo is not about an acquisition of belts but rather a conquest of knowledge and skill. Ultimately the result of Taekwondo training is a happy, humble, confident and healthy person who is a living embodiment of Taekwondo spirit. By observing the tenets of Taekwondo all students should respect others and strive to be a champion of freedom and justice. Finally our greatest goal is to build a more peaceful world.
