Why to choose Taekwondo as your Martial Art

Why to choose Taekwondo as your Martial Art

Whenever someone is considering beginning martial arts classes, they often ask, “What are the differences between Taekwondo and other martial arts?” Or, “Which is better?”

Taekwondo offers numerous benefits and, in addition, has a sport competition aspect, but this makes up only part of the entire curriculum.

So, What Are the Differences?

  • Taekwondo emphasizes kicking techniques and is an Olympic sport.

  • Stances and movements differ significantly between Taekwondo and other martial arts.

  • Taekwondo originated in South Korea. It can be trained traditionally and through the modern Olympic sport.

It should be noted that although Taekwondo tends to use fast kicking, Taekwondo training is well-rounded and involves learning blocks, punches, and open-handed strikes.

What We Believe Sets W1 Apart

  • W1 encourages winning behavior.

  • W1 prides itself on keeping things clean and orderly.

  • W1 loves to include our parents in the process.

  • We have various classes to accommodate most working families' schedules.

  • W1 is centrally located and easy to find with plenty of parking.

  • W1 has adult, teen, and kids competition/sparring classes available weekly.

  • W1 does not mimic other martial arts styles and offers students the opportunity to acquire life skills through a hands-on approach.

  • W1 runs the most competitive program in the area.

  • W1 is led by a lifelong martial artist with international achievements who continues to work on their craft every day.

  • W1 relies on show-and-tell teaching methods, with all instructors able to execute what they preach and teach it to students at the highest level through positive reinforcement.

You may find an aspect of a particular martial art appealing, but if the instructors are inexperienced, the atmosphere is intimidating, or the location is out of the way, you may want to reconsider going to that dojo.

However, if you've decided that you'd like to try Taekwondo, we welcome you to come by and try it out first here at W1 and receive world class treatment.
