Besides being a powerful form of self defense, the exercise you get from karate (aerobic / cardio, kickboxing, strength training, flexibility) benefits every part of the body, including how you feel about yourself, the health of your heart, the strength of your muscles and the density of your bones.

Our adult class is completely separate from kids and 3x a week we have adults separate from the teens. We are well aware of the needs each age group requires and we provide for those needs in having very flexible schedule.

When you exercise your body produces endorphins, which are chemicals that make you feel more peaceful and happier. Exercise can help some people sleep better and help with mild depression and self-esteem. Plus, exercise can give you a real sense of accomplishment from having achieved goals.

Exercising to maintain a healthy weight also decreases your risk of developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Exercise also helps prevent osteoporosis (weakening of the bones, making them more prone to breaking in later life among both men and women).

Taekwondo encourages the development of positive character traits such as respect for others and self, self-control, patience, perseverance, self-confidence, a "can do" mindset, and a non-violent attitude.

Students learn to step up to challenges, overcome obstacles and become role models for others.

You don't need to be in shape first. In fact, many beginner students have never exercised regularly before trying their first Taekwondo class. Of course, we encourage you to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program.
