We hope you will take the opportunity to challenge yourself, tap your potential and experience the physical, mental and social rewards that membership in our school provides through the practice of TaeKwon-Do. People join for many reasons including the desire to improve their physical fitness, flexibility, strength, memory and concentration. Some train to increase their self-confidence through sel
f-defense training. Others will thrive in the art because it is designed to work with each student individually, matching their abilities, pace and determination to succeed. It is a way of life that fits well into anyone’s personal philosophy with its foundation based on the following seven tenets:
- Honor - - Humility - - Discipline - - Patience - - Charity - - Wisdom - - Perseverance -
Kopperud TaeKwon-Do provides a balanced education through its curriculum of fitness, fundamentals, forms, application and self-defense. It is these elements, within an atmosphere of family, friendship, support and encouragement along with high quality instruction that ensures the personal success of our members. Many of our members have gone on to achieve their Black-Belt and international recognition. Kopperud TaeKwon-Do has an open-door policy in its Little-Ninja, Children and Junior programs which means parents are welcome and encouraged to view classes. In addition to regular group training sessions, private lessons are available through our Black-Belt members. We offer programs for ages 4 and older. Rank exams (except for Ninja) are held periodically and are a required part of TaeKwon-Do training. Instruction Manuals are available for each rank level. Uniforms are available and required by all members. Sparring Gear is mandatory for Green-Belts & higher. Tournaments are hosted occasionally and are a great way to celebrate the art, meet students from other schools, experience the benefits of competition and witness TaeKwon-Do at its finest during the Black-Belt events including special divisions such as board-breaking and brick-breaking. Tournaments are not required for students to progress through the ranks. We offer free trial classes in all of our programs and we do not use contracts to unfairly lock members in . You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by giving TaeKwon-Do a try. Contact us today and begin a journey that could radically improve your well-being.
