Traditional Taekwon-Do Center Of Davie
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
As you may have noticed, there are martial arts schools on almost every corner nowadays. Here are just a few unique qualities that set us apart from the rest.
Established in 1991, we have been going strong for more than 27 years. This offers you an opportunity to learn from highly experienced instructors who are dedicated to providing a stable, family-oriented environment where you can excel in your personal goals and find a diverse and supportive community. With 4 different programs to choose from, if your plan is to compete, lose weight, meet like-minded people or increase your day-to-day life, we will help you get there faster than you ever thought possible while having fun doing it.
Why Martial Arts? Having your fitness, mental focus and an unbreakable spirit aren't enough. Consider some other benefits that TaeKwon-Do offers:
Lifetime Value
You can get exercise anywhere. Heck, you can buy some DVD's and get a good workout at home. How many times can you really watch the same workout though? Where does the next challenge come from? With TaeKwon-Do, you always have another level to achieve. There's always another goal ready for you to conquer. Oh and while you are conquering those goals, you are gaining skills that last a lifetime!
Self-Defense
Running on a treadmill is great exercise. But unless you are preparing for the zombie apocalypse and plan to need that ability to run for 30 minutes, it won't do much good outside of that. With TaeKwon-Do you are learning to defend yourself. Even the basics of our program could very well save your life someday!
A Family Experience
Our school is your school. We work as a family to grow together. If you have kids, you can train right alongside them. What other sport can you really do that? Our school is designed for the family experience.
A Whole Body Experience
Something many successful people have in common, is a balanced lifestyle. To achieve this balance, you need to constantly grow in a few key areas. Fitness. Mental Focus. Spiritual Well Being. When those 3 are aligned, you are unstoppable!
No need to worry about fitting in.
We start you off slow and work up to the more intense training.
Each class starts with stretching and warm up.
Then we focus on progressive training so that you are always advancing and getting the most out of each class.
You can be sure that at every class, you will get a great workout and move a step closer to your next goal.
Plus, you can have that unbelievable feeling of having mind, body and spirit all working together.
