Taekwondo
Mon 6pm, Wed 11am & 6pm, Friday 11 am
This is not the same art your nephew takes that hands out black belts and does pattycake foot tag. This is post Korean War Taekwondo, with a heavy Karate emphasis blended with powerful kicks meant to defeat your opponent in one strike. Our Taekwondo was passed on to us by legendary Grandmaster Moo Hwan Kim, a founder of Taekwondo in the Northeast Ohio region.
​
Our Taekwondo is a system that creates excellence through strong fundamentals. Forms are taught using Bunseog so that you understand the original applications of techniques rather than the common misinterpretations. Self defense techniques are focused on a few select movements that are high percentile, effective, and versatile in any martial arts application.

Instructor: Grandmaster Rick

GM Rick will give you a good workout that emphasizes fundamentals and functional self defense as passed on to us by GM Moo Hwan Kim. Each class begins with a short warm up and stretching, along with sets of pushups and sit ups. Then you perform basic blocks, strikes, and kicks, along with the most versatile and efficient self defense techniques in the curriculum to reinforce them. The remainder of class is spent working on forms (poomse), one step self defense, or self defense techniques comprised of Judo, Hapkido, and Tuk Gong Mul Sol.
