ABOUT COBOURG TAE KWON DO
Cobourg Tae Kwon Do has been serving Northumberland County since the early
1990's. Since that time, Cobourg Tae Kwon Do has given back to the community
through various tournaments, charity fundraisers, self defense seminars for
women, demonstrations, and through teaching our students how to be leading
role models in our community.
Our Taekwondo/Martial Arts academy is an educational
institute geared towards the development of a strong mind, body, and spirit
set in a family oriented environment. Our academy is just not for sport and
self defense, it also enhances personal growth and self accomplishments
backed up by teaching traditional values. We teach our students the five tenets of Taekwondo which
are; Courtesy, Loyalty, Integrity, Perseverance, and Self Control in order
to bring out the best in them. Become a Champion of Life!
Master Jonathan Field took over Cobourg Tae Kwon Do on May 1, 2003. Since
that time our academy has won the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007 People’s Choice
Award, the 2003, 2004, 2005 & 2006 Reader’s Choice Award. The only
martial arts school in Northumberland County to be a 9 time winner of these awards. Cobourg Tae Kwon Do has also puts on
an annual charity demonstration to help raise money for the Kids Help Phone, and
has raised money for various other
charities. Our instructors have also put on several self defense seminars for
women only, and ladies groups. We have also visited local elementary schools
and high schools to talk about Taekwondo, self defense, and about personal
growth. Cobourg Tae Kwon Do's students and instructors have brought home
quite a variety of trophies and medals from various levels of competitions since
Master Jonathan Field acquired the academy.

"I have two young daughters and I wanted them to be
confident and be able protect themselves. I decided to put them in Tae
Kwon Do and could not be happier with the results. They have both
learned so much, including how to deal effectively with bullies. Their
confidence and self esteem has grown to a point where I cannot say
enough about Sir Jonathan, Sir Richard, Ma'am Gayle and Ma'am Joyce. I
just want to thank all of you for what you have done for my girls."
