Teen & Adult Taekwondo:

Taekwondo is a system of self-defense as well as an individual sport. Students learn to train to the best of their ability while learning the forms of Songham Taekwondo. You may also choose to learn sparring and the use of martial arts weapons for competition purposes.

Benefits of Taekwondo are: improved concentration, increased flexibility, physical ability, and stamina, weight loss, and the enjoyment of learning a new sport.

You will learn to improve your fitness level, defend yourself, and build self-confidence as well as make life-long friends.

Our Teen & Adult students recite the Songham Spirit of Taekwondo which begins with: “Sir/Ma’am, I shall practice in the spirit of Taekwondo, with courtesy for fellow students, loyalty for my instructors, and respect for my juniors and seniors, Sir/Ma’am!” and ends with “Sir/Ma’am, I shall live with the perseverance in the spirit of Taekwondo, having honor for others, integrity within myself, and self-control in my actions, Sir/Ma’am!”
