At Blue Ridge Taekwondo, we focus on creating a safe environment for people of all ages and abilities to learn martial arts and receive all the benefits taekwondo has to offer: Fitness, self-defense, discipline, and self-esteem. Everything we do is in relation to the Tenets of Taekwondo: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. These are the values we aspire to and work to instill in our students. Classes are three times a week, with rank promotional testings being offered every two months to eligible students. The curriculum includes forms, where one learns a set pattern of moves and techniques according to rank, in addition to specific self-defense curriculum at each rank. Intermediate and advanced students also work on board breaks and light contact sparring with protective gear.
