Welcome to Taekwondo West! Taekwondo, which is a Korean martial art that incorporates explosive self defense techniques and skills. But at Taekwondo West we also make a high priority of teaching the importance of life skills such as courtesy, respect, self-control, and patience. Also, things like setting goals, not giving up, and helping others. We promote fitness such as endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
