Ilyo Tae Kwon Do

We believe in the individual: We celebrate our students' uniqueness. Not everyone is built the same and so we shouldn't expect the same. This means that our constant goal, as instructors, is to discover what our students are capable of and push them to discover it for themselves.

Strong on the inside, first: While we are always trying to make ourselves healthier and stronger physically, we strive to make all of our students stronger within. Our five main teachings (Respect, Self-Control, Balance, Confidence and the Indomitable Spirit) encourage a persistent build-up of character. What would be the point of knowing self-defense if you don't know when to do it, how excessive to be and how to appropriately reflect upon it? In a society where bullying is at an all-time high, we try to create a group of young people who can withstand pressure and deflect negativity that comes their way.
