TAEKWONDO
What is it?

Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art that translates to... "Way of the Foot and Hand".

It is a SELF-DEFENSE art that teaches DISCIPLINE, RESPECT, and PATIENCE.

COURTESY, INTEGRITY, PERSEVERANCE, SELF CONTROL, INDOMITABLE SPIRIT.
These are the five tenets that are the foundation of our art.

Taekwondo is not only a physical art that is known for spectacular kicks, but it will give the student a total body workout. Besides exercising all muscles and joints, and improving flexibility, it also exercises the mind, helping focus and is a healthy way to relieve stress.

Northland Karate is an American style of Taekwondo that blends the infamous kicks, traditional forms, and the modern "karate" style of point sparring that the student can apply at tournaments if so desired. Our style is the “Chang-hun” style that follows the ITF patterns. We are an independent school.
 
Special Courses of rape prevention and self-awareness/self-defense are available for women and children's groups.

Northland Karate Taekwondo is taught on Monday and Thursday evenings in Albert Lea. Class times are 5:30-6:30 p.m. and 6:45-7:45 p.m.
Taught in a family atmosphere, belt color and age are integrated.
Beginner through Black Belts, ages 6 and beyond. Self defense from grabs and holds is taught as well as defense of kicks and strikes. Self Defense against grabs and holds is taught along with defending oneself against a punch or kick. American sport karate sparring is also utilized.  Private lessons are available by appointment.

If you have had an interest in the martial arts, but were "putting it off' for one reason or another, now is the time to set up your first free trial lesson!
