Connacht Taekwon-Do

Similar in many ways. While both are traditional martial arts, Taekwon-Do originated in Korea, focusing on fast and powerful kicks, whereas Karate originated in Japan, focusing on hand strikes and kicks. Both arts emphasise discipline, respect, and self-control, but they have different forms, techniques, and philosophies.

At Connacht Taekwon-Do, our Chief Instructor, Master Shane Fitzgibbon, a 7th-degree black belt, leads a team of world-class instructors who are dedicated to providing top-quality training that focuses on developing not only physical strength but also mental resilience.
