TAE KWON DO

---

What is Tae Kwon Do?

  The literal meaning (translation) of Tae Kwon Do is “foot, hand, art”- or the way of the hand and foot. However, Tae Kwon Do means much more than kicking and punching.  It is a non-violent discipline that achieves the goal of inner peace by conditioning the entire body.  This art originated in Korea and it is now the most practiced martial art in the world.

Byung Lee’s King Tiger Traditional Approach

The true symbol of martial arts in the orient is respect.  This tradition continues to be taught at Byung Lee’s King Tiger academies.  If you feel that discipline, respect, and a positive character development are important to you and your family, then Byung Lee’s King Tiger Tae Kwon Do is for you.

Our Masters and Instructors also encourages academic achievement and requires copies of every student’s report card before they are promoted to a higher belt rank.

Byung Lee’s King Tiger Academies focus on building a strong community through personal growth and individual strength.  At our schools you become a vital part of the whole as you realize your own potentials through the dynamic relationships you develop with the instructors and other students.  This family spirit is carried home, to school, to the office, and to every other part of life.  It is not just self-defense or a way to stay fit.  It’s A WAY OF LIFE!

Who Studies TKD?

Everyone from age 4 and up can learn TKD.  It is a discipline that is specific for the individual—so whatever age, whatever weight, whatever handicap you may have, Tae Kwon Do can help you learn to improve yourself and your lifestyle.

Why Do People Study TKD?

 Many people desire to learn self-defense, lose weight, gain confidence and discipline but they learn very quickly that the whole philosophy behind TKD not only helps in achieving one’s goals but also offers a multitude of benefits that becomes apparent in their daily lives.  As your attitude about your physical self improves, you will gain mental assurance.  This is the relationship of your body and mind...mind improves body...body improves mind.

-”Taking Tae Kwon Do as a family has given us a great activity to do together...Tae Kwon Do has helped me to be more confident…the friends that you make become like family…” Stacey Julien (Mother & Student)

With You In Mind:
