Taekwon-Do Berthierville is a well-established martial arts school located in Berthierville, Quebec, Canada. Affiliated with the Mauricie Regional Taekwon-do Association, the Quebec Taekwon-do International Federation, the Canadian Taekwon-do International Federation, and the International Taekwon-do Federation, the academy has been providing its services for over 40 years.
Taekwon-do, meaning the art of self-defence with bare hands and feet, originated in Korea and focuses on achieving a balance between the body and mind. What sets Taekwon-do apart from other martial arts is its emphasis on flexibility, relaxation, and the application of scientific principles to generate maximum power in movements.
The school offers classes for both children and adults. Children's classes promote discipline, memory, distance perception, and balance. Learning self-defence techniques helps develop concentration, confidence, and self-esteem. Parents and children can also take classes together.
Adult classes cater to beginners, intermediates, and advanced students, covering basic movements, predefined sequences of moves (forms), special techniques (jumps), power techniques (breaks), fighting, and self-defence.
In addition to traditional Taekwon-do classes, the school also offers fitness classes inspired by Taekwon-do and other martial arts. These classes provide a great cardiovascular and muscular workout, firming up calves, thighs, buttocks, abs, shoulders, arms, and chest. The mastery of movements not only benefits physical fitness but also teaches combat techniques.
The school also offers self-defence classes to improve power, reaction time, agility, flexibility, balance, concentration, and self-esteem. Participants learn protective positions, defence distances, and simple and effective defence techniques. Students can also take combat classes once they have attained a yellow belt or higher.
Taekwon-Do Berthierville regularly participates in international events and keeps its students updated on news and achievements through its social media channels. The school values dedication, discipline, and respect for the art of Taekwon-do, providing a holistic approach to martial arts training for individuals of all ages and abilities.
