    You have trained hard for years to increase your precision in your technique and your body awareness in your formal exercises. Now, would you like to learn the deeper meaning of these movements? Bringing some of the spirit of our Tae Kwon Do in the Mountains experiences to the studio, we will be supplementing our essential Tae Kwon Do exercises with forms-based sparring, special impact drills, and discussions on essential readings from the Martial Arts.

    Our new Black Belt Club is open to all Black Belts and Black Belt Candidates. Classes will be on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 12:45pm. You can reserve your spot online.
