Olympic-Style Sparring
We offer three levels of olympic sparring training: beginner/young children, intermediate child/adult and advanced/adult. All three levels will do conditioning exercises, work on sparring techniques and competition practice. Advanced students can learn to spar with the electronic hogu system, the scoring system used in top-level Taekwondo competitions (including this year's Olympics in London).

Sparring gear/helmet approved by Master Choe is required, along with protective cup for the males and mouth guards for all.
Black Belt/Weapons Training
This class is open only to students who have earned their black belts and displayed the necessary proficiency in Taekwondo to begin training in advanced techniques. Some of the areas covered are black belt forms, advanced kicking and self-defense techniques, and weapons training—with attention paid to developing excellent technique. Techniques from other martial arts disciplines, such as kung fu, judo and hapkido, are incorporated into the training. Full uniform and weapons.

This class is open to anyone interested in learning Tai Chi. Emphasis is on stretching, breathing and good technique. This class will help you focus and just breathe, while also giving you tips on how you can improve your overall health.
