F.A.Q

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art known for its powerful and dynamic kicking techniques, along with punching and blocking. It's a combination of physical training, mental discipline, and philosophical principles, and is practiced for self-defense, physical fitness, and sport. 

Taekwondo originated in Korea and combines techniques from various traditional Korean martial arts, with influences from karate and Chinese martial arts. The name "taekwondo" translates to "the way of the foot and fist". 

Taekwondo focuses on a wide array of kicks, including high kicks, roundhouse kicks, and axe kicks, as well as punches and blocks.

Taekwondo practitioners learn specific sequences of movements called forms (Poomsae), which are used to develop precision, balance, and coordination. 

Taekwondo sparring (Kyorugi) involves controlled fighting techniques, with points awarded for correctly executed techniques. 

Taekwondo includes breaking (Gyokpa) techniques, where practitioners break boards or other objects with kicks and punches. Philosophical and 

In addition to physical training, taekwondo emphasizes mental discipline, respect, integrity, and perseverance. 

Taekwondo became an Olympic sport in 2000. 

Taekwondo offers numerous benefits for children, encompassing physical, mental, and social development. It enhances physical fitness, improves coordination, and boosts self-esteem. Additionally, it promotes discipline, focus, and respect, while also providing a structured environment for socialization and developing valuable life skills. 

At TaeKwonDo Center for Excellence, we believe that core and character development is just as important as the development of the athlete.  

ABSOLUTELY!! We have had adults (including parents of students) enrolled throughout the years and always welcome them to school.  Because we offer classes for every skill level, we are open to adults who have never participated in Taekwondo or any other martial arts, as well as those who have trained previously.   

If you have additional questions regarding adults, please contact us and we're happy to talk through any questions or concerns you may have.  

The biggest difference at TCE is that we are female owned and have all female coaches.  We believe that this creates an environment that is positive for all students, but particularly helps young girls feel comfortable entering the sport.  

Additionally, we strive to have very engaged families within our school, creating a robust community around each other and all of the students.  

One of our primary goals is to ensure that we are a good fit for both you and your child.   As such, we offer the opportunity for your child to try up to three classes, before making a commitment to the school.  

For students that have never taken TaeKwonDo previously, we strongly recommend starting with the 4 p.m. classes, but the 5 p.m. classes can also be attended. 

To schedule yourself or your child for a complimentary class, please contact us at 404-309-0280 to let us know which day/time and share a little about your student.   

We work a little differently from many martial arts schools.  We don't charge by the class and we don't require contracts or long term commitments.   We enroll students on a month to month basis, and charge a flat amount for the month.  This both allows, and encourages, students to attend as many classes/day and as many classes/week as they are able, helping to accelerate their development and growth.   It also doesn't lock you in to a longer term commitment, should your student's interests change or your family situation need to adapt.  

Please contact Pam at 404-309-0280 for current monthly rates or for any other questions you might have.
