Welcome to USA Taekwondo! Join a community dedicated to excellence and personal growth.

Taekwondo builds self-confidence, discipline, and physical fitness while teaching valuable life skills like perseverance, respect, and integrity. Taekwondo is a dynamic Korean martial art that focuses on powerful kicks, precise strikes, and disciplined movement. The name itself translates to "the way of the foot and fist," emphasizing both kicking and hand techniques. Beyond combat, taekwondo promotes mental resilience, self-discipline, and respect. It has evolved from ancient Korean martial arts like Subak and Taekkyon into a modern sport recognized worldwide, even becoming an Olympic event in 2000.
