Teens Program in Exeter, NH

"I think one of the dearest attributes of the New Hampshire Martial Arts Academy is the people. Shyness is a trait that I tend to possess but every time I go to Tae Kwon Do that aspect of my personality disappears. I have no doubt that this is because of the good-natured individuals that make the school so exceptional. Tae Kwon Do is a place where you have to work hard, but it is also a place where you can laugh, spend time with friends and have fun. I perceived something my first day about how the people are all so friendly, respectful and dedicated. Those are all attributes that I wish to possess and Tae Kwon Do has given me many wonderful role models!"

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.

We teach Olympic style sparring. Not only is GrandMaster Hardy the only Olympic Tae Kwon Do instructor in the area, she is also the 2000 World Cup Gold Medalist, has trained National Champions, and posses the qualifications, expertise, experience and know how to get you to Olympic level.
