Begining Tae Kwon Do @ Roach Gymnastics - NEW!

Taekwondo, "the way of foot and fist," is based on ancient Korean methods of self-defense. It places major emphasis on flexibility and kicking techniques, but hand techniques are also widely employed. This martial art has become a major international sport and was introduced to the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea in 1988.

Taekwondo is a superior art of self-defense, but also an art of the mind as well. Taekwondo students develop discipline, confidence, concentration, and respect. These benefits spill over into all facets of the students' lives. With its practical means of self-defense, its complete regimen of physical conditioning and its aid to improved mental performance, Taekwondo offers a total fitness program integrating mind, body, and spirit.
