Woori Taekwondo & Hapkido Academy
The Little Tigers class is ideal for helping younger children develop the skills and abilities they need most. Woori specializes in working with children to help them develop a strong sense of self, motivation and discipline. Designed for children ages 6 to 12 years. Our Children's Classes are divided by age and skill to provide the best possible match of teaching style to each student's needs.

All children are taught at their own pace to develop their present capabilities and bring out their maximum potential. Woori offers adults and teens a comprehensive fitness program with the added benefit of self-defense skills and an increase in mental and emotional strength. In the midst of modern life's hectic schedules, many parents look for activities that allow the entire family to spend time together.

Other benefits from these programs include becoming more flexible, toned, and increasing your stamina. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art, and is loosely translated as "the way of kicking and punching".

My children have attended Woori for 3 years now and the we couldn't be happier with their progress. The lessons they have learned are invaluable and will follow them for a lifetime. Most importantly, Master Basia and instructors are OUTSTANDING! Woori truly has a family vibe and we love being a part of the Woori family. My son looks forward to the day he can become an instructor.

I am so grateful to Master Basia for motivating all the kids. Since my son joined this class, he is so motivated and happy and can’t wait to see her. Master Basia goes out of the way to communicate at every kid’s level. So blessed to have such an amazing instructor.

The instructors provide individualized attention to every student. My child is 4 years old and just getting started, but I have already seen the change in him. The facility is very clean and welcoming. A great value, and great investment.

We LOVE this place! My children are transforming into the humans that I knew they could be! My children practice in their free time and have really bonded with the Woori Family! One of the best parts is they are happier and getting healthier! Try it!

This place is amazing!
The Masters are great with the kids and teach so much more than self defense its everyday life skills. My son loves coming to class and is so much more confident. I'm so happy we chose to become part of the Woori Family!
