TaeKwonDo is distinctly a Korean Martial Art that requires no weapons. It has been practiced for over 20 centuries by kings, soldiers, and civilians as a form of instinctive self-defence and to improve one’s physical fitness, health, and inner peace.
TaeKwonDo, translated literally, is: the way of kicking feet and striking hands.
TaeKwonDo utilizes both mental and physical development, which provides a setting for emotional well being, free from stress and fear, a complete system of self-defence, a popular new sport, and a truly unique approach to living. TaeKwonDo is not only for the strong, but for any person - old, young, male, female, big or small - who wishes to master an art.
At Grasshoppers, we offer a unique opportunity to study TaeKwonDo in its traditional form. We are the only Martial Arts school in Eastern Canada authorized to teach Grandmaster Tae Eun Lee’s Moo Kwang System.
