Kick It Taekwondo is more than a martial arts school – it is a community dedicated to personal growth, discipline, and lifelong confidence through the art of Taekwondo.
What Is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art known for its dynamic kicking techniques, speed, agility, and mental discipline. Unlike many other martial arts that focus heavily on grappling or close-range combat, Taekwondo emphasizes:
● Powerful and precise kicking
● Balance, flexibility, and coordination
● Mental focus and self-control
● Respect, perseverance, and integrity
Taekwondo is both a modern Olympic sport and a traditional martial art, blending physical fitness with strong character development. Students learn not only how to defend themselves, but also how to set goals, overcome challenges, and carry confidence into school, work, and everyday life.
The Tenets of Taekwondo
At Kick It, our teaching is rooted in the five core tenets of Taekwondo:
● Courtesy
● Integrity
● Perseverance
● Self-Control
● Indomitable Spirit
These values guide how students train on the mat and how they carry themselves off the mat – helping them become respectful leaders, resilient learners, and confident individuals.
