Under the organizatiion of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), headquarted in Seoul, Korea, our program and ranking system are recognized around the world.
Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.
Taekwondo is
a total learning activity which improves a person's athletic abilities, self awareness, heightens concentration, increases self discipline, and self restraint. The self-discipline that develops as a result of learning and practicing the techniques usually carries over into other areas of an individual's lives. Taekwondo practitioners live under the precepts Perseverence, Self Control, Intergrity, Responsibility, and Indomitable Spririt
Our Instructors are all certified black belts and specially trained for Tae Kwon Do Instruction. Our Students range from all ages with interest varying from stress relieving, health promoting exercises to intense, traditional training that the Martial Arts are so famous for.
While paying respect to Taekwondo's ancient traditions, we also are influenced by our Headmaster's background at Yong-In University in Korea, where the old traditions are melded with modern scientific methods of sport research and technology.
Service to our greater community is an important part of our schools. Through sponsorship of local events, peforming demonstrations, and cultural events and exchanges, Yong-In Martial Arts brings the traditional precepts of Korean martial arts and personal growth to our everyday lives.
We strengthen our community by going beyond training aspects by holding events such as Summer/Holiday Day camps, Picnics, Our Winter Holiday Dinner, Parents Nights Out and the Martial Arts festival, just name a few.
