Taekwondo is a defensive and offensive martial art form that uses bare hands and feet against opponents. What distinguishes it from other martial arts forms are the powerful and varied leg movements, and that is what has enabled it to become a worldwide martial art.

I've gone here for just about all my 7 years in south carolina and I've managed to, as of now, climb to red belt. You'll find that if you take your children here they will be subjected to the real martial arts experience. Going here helped me change my behavior and attitudes which made living my everyday life much easier than it would have been had I not gone here to receive extremely necessary discipline. You'll also find out that ranking up isn't just some monthly process, and as you or your child climb ranks you'll see a change in difficulty and whats expected of you as a student. The teachers
