Tae Kwon Do is the Korean art of self-defense, practiced by millions world-wide and now a full medal event in the Olympics (since 2000). There are two styles of Tae Kwon Do, commonly known as ITF and WTF. Most schools focus on one or the other. The Academy is lucky to have Master Hardy, who has studied and competed in both styles, and teaches both at the Academy, with the main focus on WTF, otherwise known as Olympic style. Students are exposed not only to the Olympic style full contact sparring, but also to point sparring. This exposure to two styles provides complete Tae Kwon Do instruction.
Exclusive to the Academy are our video training clips. Students can view Master Hardy over the internet executing all the techniques they are learning, at their convenience. This is an excellent supplement to classroom training, and assures students practice properly.
Tae Kwon Do literally means "art (or way) of hand and foot". This art is the ultimate in self-defense and physical fitness for men, women and children. By involving the whole body, Tae Kwon Do trains the muscles to work in harmony with the mind. Tae Kwon Do promotes strong, resilient spirit, developing leadership qualities for every aspect of life. This is due to the Academy's unique philosophy of self-control, kindness, and humility, which accompanies the physical grace and power of the self-defense skills taught.
