Introduction to Tae Kwon Do

In this six week introductory club students will be learning the fundamental basics of Tae Kwon Do blending history and movement to create a fun and fast paced class. 

Each session will begin with a 5 minute history lesson on Tae Kwon Do and what this martial art represents. Then the lesson will be followed up with a brief warm up and will then transition into learning the basics that will include a variety of kicks, punches, and blocks.
