Some of the many fun activities you will do...

Forms

You will learn International Taekwondo Federation(ITF) forms. Forms are prearranged combinations of movements intended to develop a student's skills and technique. Each form integrates techniques learned in class, such as blocks, punches, kicks, and stances.

Board Breaking

Board breaking is an activity that involves breaking wooden boards and other materials using different techniques. It is a powerful way to demonstrate one's mastery of technique and strength while building confidence in oneself. Board breaking is a physical challenge that requires precision, speed, and proper alignment to break the boards successfully.
