Grandmaster Hee Il Cho (pictured above) was born, raised and trained in South Korea. He teaches as was taught to him. We seek to practice the art in its true form.Tae Kwon Do is a traditional and practical Korean martial art that translates literally as the way of the foot and fist. However, Tae Kwon Do holds a much deeper meaning beyond that of its literal translation. It implies discipline of the body, mind and spirit. In fact, a way to a better life.

Contrary to what some will say, when taught and practiced correctly, Tae Kwon Do is a very effective and practical method of self-defense.

Tae Kwon Do is not a hobby or a trend. It is an ancient art form that is a way of life, promoting good health, conduct and strength of character. Tae Kwon Do, as with any true martial art, begins and ends with respect.

Traditional martial arts pursue a noble purpose:  to serve an individual and community for the betterment of all.

Discipline, focus, perseverance and integrity are the foundation for which all practitioners learn and build upon.  We are champions for a moment, martial artists for a lifetime.
