Martial Arts - Taekwon-Do for Children from 7 Years Old
Aim High, Kick High - More Than Just Self-Defense!
The Taekwon-Do courses are designed to support the physical, social, and emotional development of children aged 6 to 15 and teach them martial arts skills with which they can defend themselves if necessary. The Korean martial art of self-defence was founded in 1955 by Choi Hong Hi, an officer in the South Korean military during the Korean War. Choi Hong Hi rose through the ranks and became a general. Later, he served as a Korean ambassador in Malaysia and Taiwan, spreading the art of Taekwon-Do around the world. Taekwon-Do is the national sport of Korea and has more practitioners worldwide than any other martial art or self-defence system. The sport version of Taekwon-Do has been an Olympic discipline since 1988. We offer Taekwon-Do martial arts for children, youths, and adults in Baden, Spreitenbach, and Baden.
