Anyone who is interested in learning the art is welcome at our school. I teach my students respect, obedience, and self-control in a fun yet challenging way. By definition, Tae Kwon Do is a Korean, unarmed martial art. It is not only kicking and punching, but a way of thinking and living. The main goal of Tae Kwon Do is to achieve total mind and body control through proper training. I have persona
lly studied the art of Tae Kwon Do for 29 years, allowing me to attain my 6th Degree Black Belt and ranking of Master. My wife Brenda, a 5th Degree Black Belt , and I are the instructors at Capital City Tae Kwon Do. Periodically, you will meet my two children and four grandchildren when they are visiting New Hampshire. My daughter Kasie holds a 3rd Degree Black Belt & my son Kyle holds a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Kasie received her PhD (ABD) in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and now works as a Senior In-House Subject Matter Expert in Economics for Cengage Learning. While working from home, she raises her two boys: Cody Charles and Collin Richard. Her husband, Nathan, is a Family Medicine Physician at Kittery Family Practice. Kyle holds a Masters Degree in theology from Asbury Theological Seminary and a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Rochester and he also moonlights as a fledgling YouTuber. His wife, Courtney teaches drama at Decatur Middle School and she is also dusting off her acting chops in order to pursue roles in the near future. The rest of their time is spent caring for their two young daughters, Vera Eileen and Audra Florence. As instructors, we believe, abide by, and teach the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do:
COURTESY
INTEGRITY
PERSEVERANCE
SELF CONTROL
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
We strive to achieve a harmonious balance in ourselves. The purpose of our school is to provide the means by which students bring out the best in themselves both physically and mentally. We wish to make this world a better and safer place for humanity through self-control. Our students are instilled with the importance of responsible behavior. Our Do Jang (school) is a small international community in itself with students from different nations and heritages. Yet, our love and practice of Tae Kwon Do have brought us together. It allows us to do the same outside the school. Honor your family, Allegiance to your country, Trust and support each other, and Speak the truth!!
