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

There are eleven gup levels differentiated by belt color. Within each level are five categories denoted by black stripes affixed to the belt. Each of these categories consists of Taekwondo techniques required for rank advancement. After the student has attained all five black stripes for their gup level and can perform them satisfactorily, an additional red stripe is added to indicate that the student is ready to advance to the next gup level. A promotional test is then administered to determine the student's knowledge and physical skill as well as attitude and spirit.

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.
