Do you want to experience the peace of mind that comes with growing confidence in yourself and your own potential?
Do you want to get stronger? Learn self-defense? Build cardiovascular endurance?
Then traditional Taekwondo is for you.
Whether you are 6 years old, or 60 years old, traditional Taekwondo can provide untold physical and mental benefits and a model for success.
The formula is simple: hard work and self-discipline.
Adults who train with us will build a repertoire of self-defense skills that instill physical confidence, mental discipline, and emotional strength.
Children who train with us will build the same skills in a structured program that instills courtesy, integrity, and self-control as they persevere through a program of goal-setting behavior represented by the system of belt ranks.
You will train under 9th degree Grandmaster David Knife, a Division I college athlete and direct student of Grandmaster Kim, Hong Sik, who trained South Korean National police in the traditional art of Korean Taekwondo before emigrating to America in 1968, where he settled in Portland, Oregon. Grandmaster Knife founded the Boise dojang in 1982.
So fill out the form and let’s get started. You have nothing to lose, and a world of benefit to gain by giving it a try.
Grandmaster Knife is an amazing and dedicated instructor. Highly invested in each and every person that walks through his doors.
