History

Established in 1992.

Unified Taekwon-​Do offers quality martial arts, self-​defense, and cardio kickboxing programs to men, women, and children of all ages.

The school’s philosophy emphasizes good health, physical and mental conditioning and awareness, and the development of indomitable character, self-​confidence and values.

Recently introduced to the western world, Taekwon-​Do has been for centuries an integral part of Korean society. Translated literally, Taekwon-​Do means «The art of hand and foot fighting.» Though it is a martial art, its discipline, techniques, and mental training are the mortar for building a strong sense of self-​esteem, justice, fortitude, and values.
