The spirit of Taekwondo

is to overcome oneself

and benefit the world !

Welcome

Our Story.
Our Mission.
Our Taekwondo school’s mission is to promote

the spirit of ‘Hongik Ingan’ (benefiting all mankind)

We believe in offering a positive environment where students can progress in their martial arts careers by not only meeting the goals of the curriculum but also by setting and achieving their own goals. The spirit of Taekwondo is to overcome oneself and benefit the world. Through Taekwondo, students can naturally develop leadership skills by overcoming fears, worries, hesitation, and shyness. Public speech is one of the important our curriculum. Our goal is to nurture true leaders through self-discipline, who can benefit the people in their community, society, country, and the world, becoming “Hongik Leaders.”

Our program primarily focuses on the personal development of adults. All negative emotions such as stress, pressure, anxiety, and worry that we experience in our social lives and relationships ultimately stem from fear. Our program aims not only to relieve recent stress through Taekwondo and meditation but also to enhance the quality of life by approaching fundamental self-discovery and reflection. We focus on maximizing the benefits for our members through a 1:1 customized curriculum that helps them overcome fears step by step until they can easily control them at their core.

At Hongik Taekwondo, we avoid separating Taekwondo training from life improvement. Instead, we aim to enhance practical problem-solving skills that can be immediately applied to real-life situations after learning. We are always here to understand, help, and support you, so don’t hesitate. We believe the environment you’ve been seeking will open up for you.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Master Lee

 

What We Offer

 

At Hongik Taekwondo Academy, we guide students to step out of their comfort zones and gradually try new things, naturally building their confidence. By learning new kicks, forms, and self-defense techniques, students experience countless moments of success, realizing, “I can do it if I focus!” These solidified experiences of success will continuously impact their lives, fostering qualities such as perseverance to not give up easily, concentration towards achieving goals, and resilience to maintain a learning attitude even in the face of failure.

1. Body Training

The body and mind are very directly connected. Therefore, deep inner growth cannot occur without the body. A healthy body creates a healthy mind.

2. Self-directed learning

When students gain confidence and become proficient in public speaking, we guide them to set their own goals, plan how to achieve them, and accomplish them independently. Through self-directed learning, students improve their problem-solving skills and develop lifelong learning habits.

Leadership Training

At Hongik Taekwondo Academy, once students achieve an orange belt or higher and show the willingness, they are gradually guided to teach what they have learned to other students. While learning is important, teaching what they know helps them reflect on, understand, and develop their own leadership skills. By the time they attain a black belt, they have already cultivated the leadership necessary to teach Taekwondo to others, regardless of age group.

Proficient class (Black belt club)

 

 

Students who show a strong desire to learn and demonstrate talent as they begin Taekwondo classes become eligible to join the Black Belt Club. This is achieved through the Black Belt Club Test. The purpose of this club is to aim for the black belt and eventually become a master, providing not only proficient group class but also customized 1:1 coaching. When students are ready for belt promotion, evaluations are conducted 1:1, ensuring no time is wasted. Additionally, leadership training is provided to further develop their skills.

Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts that teacher more than physical fighting skills.
Evolving over 20 centuries in Korea, Taekwondo was initially developed as a defense martial art to train the body and mind.  Later, it became one of the basis of producing leaders for the country.

Taekwondo is known primarily for the precision, speed, and power of its kicks. It is a great way to get in shape while learning important life skills.

Taekwondo is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind.  Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.

Taekowndo is the world’s most popular martial art, with millions of practitioners in more than 150 countries. It is both a traditional Korean martial art and modern-day Olympic sport.
