martial art called Taekwondo. Known best for the involvment in the Olympic Games, Taekwondo is an ancient martial art originated
in Korea around 2,000 years ago.
The Rochester Taekwondo Club teaches the ancient practice as a martial art form
for men, women, children and families. Both young and old benefit from the rigors of training that involves sharpening the
mind and conditioning the body.

fitness to the relief of stress to the application to self defense, Taekwondo has proved itself as a world class martial art.

rewarding for old and young alike.
