What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo directly translated into English means “the art of kicking and punching.” Taekwondo was developed in Korea using martial art influences from Japan and China. In class, students will train through the values of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. Skills learned in Taekwondo involve kicks, hand strikes, joint locks, throws, takedowns, free-sparring, self-defense, and forms. Forms are a large part of Taekwondo training. Within a form, you’ll learn a prearranged pattern developing agility, dexterity, coordination, flexibility, and memory.
Belt System
All our beginners start at the white rank, but you can transfer in pending experience and if you can demonstrate the skill to the equivalent rank. Tests take place during class or are held in Idaho Falls. Testing completed by 7th Degree black belt Master Jeremy Hebard.
Youth and Adult Program
1 class per week is dedicated to 4 and 6 year-olds. The remaining weekly class times are ages 7 years and older (including adults). Each class teaches patience from a child's standpoint to an adult's.
Private lessons are available by appointment and we offer family and group discounts.
