Welcome
Welcome to the dojang (training facility) of Grand Master Yi. We are a welcoming, affordable, and active facility that teaches traditional Tae Kwon Do under the leadership of Grand Master Henry Yi. We offer private lessons, a pathway of Tae Kwon Do learning from white belt to black belt, from children to adults, and a black belt Academy.
Why Tae Kwon Do?
Compared to other popular forms of martial arts, Tae Kwon Do is relatively new. Tae Kwon Do is less than 100 years old and was born in Korea after the Second World War. After regaining its independence, Korea is hungry to re-ignite its culture. In 1965, many Koreans from different regions combined their efforts into what is now a modern martial arts discipline known as Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is focused on coordinated use of the feet and hands, with influences of Taekyon, Subak, and Shotokan Karate. Modern students discover that Tae Kwon Do lessons with Grand Master Yi are dynamic, applicable to “street scenarios”, and challenging.
Children
