A Budding Martial Art
History of Taekwondo
While Taekwondo’s roots can be traced to ancient Martial Art disciplines like Karate, Taekkyeon, Subak, and Gwonbeop, it is actually a relatively young fighting style. Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art that was created in the 1940s and 1950s. So what sets Taekwondo apart from the older styles it’s influenced by? Taekwondo is thought to be a combination of China’s “soft styles” and Japan’s “hard styles” of Martial Arts, emphasizing kicks and choreographed movements much more than most other disciplines. Not to mention, Taekwondo has a unique focus on spiritual growth, loyalty, respect, perseverance, and self-esteem.

What Our Students Are Saying
Rickard is such an incredible trainer. I've achieved goals and results I've always wanted to reach but needed the right advice and knowledge, both in training and diet, to do so. I could not recommend him as a trainer enough, and the fact that he's a great person in general makes it even better.

Awesome martial arts has such a great family atmosphere. Highly recommended for all ages. My 6 year old just LOVES his instructors!

Parent
Such a welcoming environment from the moment we arrived. My 6 year old daughter is very shy and reserved. Her confidence has grown so much in the past four months. She looks forward to classes and the entire Molin family. They teach at the level of the individual student.
