Taekwondo Programs
We have programs specifically designed for kids, teens and
adult in the areas of Taekwondo and fitness. Our classes fit
students of all shapes and sizes and physical abilities. We offer
classes that allow a student to come once a week or as many times
a month as they want. We conduct in school tournaments at least once a year
and attend several other tournaments here in Maine and some in
other states.
Family fitness is our goal-
When you or your child become a member, your spouse or the
parents of the member can use the facility for free. They will
have access to any of our fitness classes, cardio equipment, or
tanning. Many times you will
be able to find a fitness class offered on our second training
floor at the same time as your child or spouse's Taekwondo class
is happening.
This allows parents and other family members to workout while
Taekwondo classes are in session. Use the links to the left to find out
more about classes that fit your needs.
