Blue Wave Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do is more than just learning a few moves, earning a belt and going to tournaments. Tae Kwon Do is (and should be) a complete martial arts system that has been passed down from Master to student for generations and involves your whole person.
Mind and body training is the idea. Learning perfect control, explosive power, composure under stressful situations and dynamic leadership are just a few of the topics that are part of the learning process.
There is a definite structure to the curriculum so you have a good idea where the training is going. And, while the training method is authentic with very old roots, our studio and teaching methods are very up to date.

Karate Kubs Preschool Class
Ages 3 to 4 Years of Age
Karate Kubs is our preschool class for students ages 3 to 4 years old. It is a play based program where students learn the very basics of martial arts techniques. This class is based on the foundation of our traditional martial arts approach. Students will learn how to follow instructions, develop listening skills, emotional intelligence, and practice behaviors helpful to participate successfully in a class room environment.
We use obstacle course training and games to help develop fine and gross motor control. Students will also learn basics such as kicking, stretching, blocking, and punching.
Our class structure also helps students learn how to appropriately interact with other students, and with their teachers. This is helpful in preparing students for a classroom environment looking forward towards the skills helpful for their kindergarten experience.
Classes lasts 30 minutes, we offer both a one day a week tuition structure or an unlimited tuition structure. Many students like to have a Dobok or training uniform for class, but the uniform is not a requirement for the Karate Kubs class.
