THE MARTIAL ARTIST ATTITUDE - Upholding the responsibility of being a student of Taekwondo
and Hapkido
is not always easy. Students are expected to work hard in school and
adhere to basic Taekwondo and Hapkido principles and tenets. Among these are
courtesy towards one another, respect for others as well as oneself, and
humility while training. Patience, perseverance, and dedication are
healthy by-products of proper training.

 BRIEF
HISTORY - Taekwondo is a Korean martial art over 2000 years old.
It began as part of a system to defend a smaller, more vulnerable country
against larger surrounding countries. Young noblemen were
individually chosen to immerse themselves in this rigorous training of the
mind, body, and spirit. This intense dedication created
balanced, fearless warriors who successfully warded off invasions for many
years. The modern version of this training is Taekwondo and Hapkido.

MODERN SPORT TAEKWONDO - Taekwondo is
an Olympic Sport. It is the fastest growing martial art in
the world today. It's no doubt that part of this popularity is due to the
explosive, fast-paced action of competitive Taekwondo, coupled with the respect
and humility of traditional martial arts ideals.
Our Sport Taekwondo training programs
build champions from the inside out. The rigors of training for
competitive Taekwondo can be stressful when the stakes are high. Our
Taekwondo athletes learn to balance their training schedule with proper
nutrition, cross training, and mental preparedness.
Maui Taekwondo is the
official AAU Taekwondo Hawaii State Taekwondo Championship headquarters and
the AAU Taekwondo Sport Director for the Hawaiian region. Our world
class team competes in both USAT and AAU local, national, and international
sanctioned events and boasts USAT(USTU) national champions as far back as
1992!
