Chung Do Kwan

Beginners

Ages 9+


Classes are high energy and fun. All fitness levels are welcome. Whether you have been exercising forever and are in great shape, or never exercise and want to get into shape, you will be challenged.

The beginners class is for all experience levels, those who have never done any martial arts to those who've been in it for years.



We believe in having a disciplined class and practice the following principles.
  • Courtesy
  • Integrity
  • Perseverance
  • Indomitable Spirit
  • Self Control
  • Confidence
  • Goal Setting
  • Team Spirit
  • Respect for Others



Most of our formal classes are structured into 6 parts.

6 Parts of a TaeKwonDo Class

 Stretching and Warm Up

Its important to stretch properly before doing any strenuous activity. We recommend coming a little early to stretch before class

 Fundamentals

These are the basic building blocks of Martial Arts. Stances (foundation), Striking, and Defending Techniques are
learned here.
 Poomse

Poomse are memorized patterns designed to help us remember techniques and how to apply them.

 One Steps

This is the most basic level of sparring.  There is no contact and the techniques are all purposely predetermined.
 Free Sparring

Sparring is one of the best ways to prepare for a self defense situation.  We practice controlled contact (not pulling back) sparring.
 Closing Exercises

We like to work hard then work hard some more.  After a tough class, we push a little longer.
