What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a universal martial art of self-defense that was developed in Korea, more than 2000 years ago, translating literally as the art of the foot and hand, or the art of kicking and punching. Taekwondo is different from other martial arts in that, while it uses hands, it emphasizes the use of foot and leg techniques.
Safety First
Taekwondo is safe and fun for students of all ages and physical abilities. Training is provided by experienced instructors where students are shown techniques in a step-by-step process that moves at their own pace. A thorough stretching routine and protective safety equipment are all part of our commitment to ensuring student safety.
Benefits of Taekwondo
Physical benefits – Taekwondo offers optimum long term fitness training for life. You improve flexibility, have more energy, and become stronger than ever; plus, learn self-defense techniques.
Action Arts Academy USA has teamed with Boyd’s Defensive Arts LLC to offer Combat Hapkido. Combat Hapkido – whose slogan is “The Science of Self Defense” – is an extremely realistic and versatile discipline/system of self protection that includes an extensive variety of break-away techniques, effective strikes, joint locks, pressure points, ground survival, and weapons disarming techniques.
The result is a practical, comprehensive self defense system that is enjoyable to learn and is truly effective in realistic situations. Our Combat Hapkido program is taught with its own curriculum in separate classes from the AAA TaeKwonDo program. In a manner similar to the TaeKwonDo program, ranks (or belts) in the Combat Hapkido program start at White Belt and progress up to 1st Degree Black Belt (and higher). You can choose to train in just the TaeKwonDo program with AAA, or just the Combat Hapkido program, or you can study both and earn ranks in both martial arts… The choice is yours.
