About the event
Tae Kwon Do is a martial art originated in Korea and the name means 'the art of kicking and punching'. It uses kicks, punches and blocks in a series of moves called 'forms' and in sparring with each other. Tae Kwon Do is a non-contact style of practice; each kick or punch is delivered with full force but lands several inches from the target. The class helps build focus, respect, confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills. Each student will have a personalized development plan created by the instructor based on individual needs and abilities. Students may progress through belt levels from white belt (beginner) to yellow, green, purple, brown and then to black belt. Students should wear work-out clothing; T-shirt and sweatpants and bring a water bottle. This class is suitable for anyone with no experience of martial arts through 2nd degree black belt. All equipment will be provided. The instructor is a Senior black belt instructor and member of USA Tae Kwon Do Masters Association.
