Tae Kwon Do
Taekwondo (also spelled
tae kwon do or
taekwon-do) is a
martial art originating in
Korea.
Having become the most widely practiced martial art in the
world, it is the
national sport of
Korea as well as an
Olympic sporting event.
In
Korean, derived from
hanja, tae means "foot";
kwon means "fist"; and
do means "way". Hence, taekwondo is
loosely translated as "the way of the hand and
foot" or more loosely, "the art of kicking and
punching". Taekwondo's popularity has resulted
in the divergent evolution of the martial art.
As with many other martial arts, taekwondo is a
combination of combat technique, self-defense,
sport, exercise, entertainment, and philosophy.
Self Defense information is an integrated part of this program. Becoming aware
of yourself and your surroundings can only increase ones safety.

Han Mu Do
Created by Dr. He-Young Kimm in the search for balance through Martial Arts,
Han Mu Do is made up of essentially three components:
 |
HAN (High) -
Hanmudo practitioners set short term,
intermediate term and long term goals. The long term goal is to achieve
their Black Belt. After goals are set, the practitioner then works
diligently to achieve the goal. |
 |
HAN (Wide
or Open) - Hanmudo practitioners
train to have and keep an open mind. They work to help others
understand different people and cultures so we may all live in harmony and happiness.
|
 |
HAN (Bright or Optimistic)
- Hanmudo practitioners train with a strong
positive attitude. They strive to face all of their challenges with
confidence. They understand that their challenges build strength. |

Kenpo
American Kenpo or Kenpo Karate is a system of martial arts created by
Ed Parker, characterized by the use of quick moves in rapid-fire
succession intended to overwhelm an opponent. It is largely marketed as
a self-defense system, and is derived from traditional Southern Chinese
kung fu and other martial arts found in the cultural melting pot of
Hawaii. Parker introduced significant modifications in his art,
including principles, theories, and concepts of motion as well as
terminology, throughout his life. He left behind a large number of
instructors who teach many different versions of American Kenpo as Ed
Parker died before he named a successor to his art.
