What is
TaeKwonDo?
TaeKwonDo
("foot-hand-art") is a beautiful expression of artistic movement. Through it's practice, students discover many qualities about themselves. Through this honest and pure art form, students identify their strengths and shortcomings and mature as responsible people.
TaeKwonDo is the most effective method of unarmed self-defense, an intricate art, an exciting life sport, and a superior method of maintaining physical and mental fitness. The roots of this art date back hundreds of years to Tae Kyon in Korea. Today it has evolved to an international art through the efforts of, first, General Choi Hong Hi, developer of Chang-Hun TaeKwonDo, and now through the leadership of
the International TaeKwonDo Alliance.
The International TaeKwonDo Alliance
is the nation's premier martial arts training organization featuring a nationally certified teaching program with
internationally certified ranks and instructors. The ITA is dedicated to the teaching, development, and promotion of the art of
Ho-Am ("Tiger Rock") style
TaeKwonDo. The ITA has the first documented teaching curriculum, teaching methods and certification standards.
The regional senior instructor, Grand Master Master Art Monroe, is one of
the original Founders of the International TaeKwonDo
Alliance.
