TAEKWONDO PROGRAMS

We teach WTF Taekwondo which is an Olympic sport and a straight to the point self defense system originating from South Korea. Our Taekwondo/Martial Arts curriculum covers various techniques from traditional and modern Taekwondo, and includes techniques and training methods from Karate, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Kobudo, and Krav Maga. This allows our students to be well diverse in the many styles of self defense, physical fitness, and mental growth.

Each belt rank level at Cobourg Tae Kwon Do has 7 stripes that must be earned in order for a student to grade for their next rank. Our striping system allows us to closely monitor a student's progress and make sure they stay on the right pass to achieve their personal goals as well as achieving their Black Belt. A well structured Taekwondo program is one of the keys to success.

Here's an example of a white belt earning all 7 stripes and then grading for their yellow belt.
- Starts at White Belt

Our students learn all the skills of Taekwondo through various drills designed to maximize their physical skills as well as their mental concentration. Some of the drills we do include kicking shields, kicking paddles, free standing heavy bags, hand targets, coaches’ mitts, x-ray films, training mats, balance beam, boxing gloves, blockers, foam balls, pine boards, rebreakable boards, hogoos, weights, and much more. All of the above equipment is utilized when our students are practicing their punches, blocks, kicks, forms, self defense and when they spar. We feel this makes our classes safe, enjoyable, and exciting for our students.

Black Belt Club and Master’s Club are additional classes offered to our students of orange belt and above. Also, to be a member of the black belt club, one must have black belt as one of their goals in Taekwondo. These classes teach students the use of traditional martial arts weapons such as the nunchaku, bo, kamas, tonfa, and other martial arts weapons. Students will also learn other skills not taught in regular classes like diving rolls, musical and creative forms, point style sparring, and extra practice for their gradings and demonstrations.

''If you are looking for a great place to make a positive change in your life, then I absolutely recommend Cobourg Tae Kwon Do. I was first impressed by the dojang's cleanliness, bright room and excellent quality equipment. Now one year later and determined to reach for my black belt, I enjoy the encouraging, friendly, environment which promotes the development of excellent martial arts skills and positive values. Classes are always fresh, always challenging and it's never a chore to attend class. For physical fitness, martial arts skills, and spiritual development, I highly recommend Cobourg Tae Kwon Do. Cobourg Tae Kwon truly changed my life."
