The school  was founded in 2002 and boasts a large, enthusiastic and friendly population of students from the age of five years and upwards.

Taekwon-do (Tae = foot; kwon = fist; do = art) is an effective and superior form of martial art. It employs hand and foot techniques for self defence. The physical and psychological foundations of Tae-kwon-do (TKD) were scientifically developed and systemised by Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi. It is a great way to remain fit, to be able to defend yourself and more importantly to have fun.

The art of TKD consists of the constant practise of patterns (Hyongs), sparring and breaking techniques. Patterns are a series of attack and defence techniques executed and directed towards the vital parts of an imaginary opponent or opponents. Going through each step in the Hyong accurately will result in flexible, graceful, precise and coordinated movements.

The student of TKD requires constant and regular training to achieve power, speed, concentration, accuracy and stability of movements in the techniques of attack and defence. Each technique must be practised until it becomes a conditioned reflex to be applied in real life when the need arises for self-defence. The training will enable the student to concentrate all physical power at the point of contact. This power of concentration can only be attained when the student not only achieves mental discipline and physical fitness, but also the spiritual ethics derived from learning the art of TKD.

TKD is truly an international martial art for young and old irrespective of sex. The ultimate objective of learning the art is to cultivate a disciplined mind, body and spirit.  If you have any comments about the site, good or bad, or just have a query about TKD, please feel free to contact us.
