The White Tiger represents martial art symbolism. In China, during the Han Dynasty, people believed the tiger to be the king of all beasts. Strong, fast, noble.

Legend had it that when a tiger reached 500 years old, its tail would turn white. When it reached 1000 years old it would all turn white.

In this way, the white tiger became a kind of mythological creature. It was said that the white tiger would only appear when the emperor ruled with absolute virtue.

The word Taekwondo in kanji calligraphy symbolizes our martial art style.

Taekwondo originated in Korea.

Translated literally Tae means foot, Kwon fist and Do is way. Therefore - The way of kicking and punching.

Taekwondo is a striking (hard) style of martial art characterized by its fast kicking techniques.

It is a complete self-defense system which includes hand, elbow, foot, and knee techniques, as well as pressure-point strikes, groin and eye attacks, joint locks, and throws and sweeps.

Our earthy yellow color represents our commitment to nature and the planet.

In Asia yellow is sacred, and imperial. In Japan yellow means courage.



Our motto “reveal the champion within” is speaking to each student, pursuing him or her to keep achieving set goals, set new goals and to never give up and always keep trying until success comes.
