Taekwondo

Taekwondo (TKD) is an ancient Korean martial art comprised of approximately 80% kicking and 20% punching techniques.  The art of Taekwondo includes self-defense, sparring, forms, board breaking, and various drills.  TMA's style of taekwondo originated from one of the original art forms, Mudokwan. Although there has been a large portion of practitioners focused on the Olympic Sparring aspect of TKD, our academy is committed to a well-balanced curriculum that covers all parts of the dynamic art. Our classes are founded on an encouraging, friendly atmosphere.  Our instructors place the safety for our members first. 

We currently offer three levels for our Taekwondo classes, which include Little Tigers, Beginners, and Intermediate/Advanced.
