Our Taekwondo program stress both the martial (sparring) and the art (patterns) of Taekwondo with the goal of achieving perfection of technique, along with the development of character and a warrior spirit. Sparring is a safe way for students to test the techniques they have learned in class against fellow students. Our organization uses no-contact sparring, and competitors are required to wear safety equipment. Patterns (memorized choreographed movements simulating defending against an imaginary attacker) teach students perfection of technique and movement, and build mental and physical discipline. Our Taekwondo classes are strenuous, but are enjoyable for all genders and ages.
