What is Taekwondo?
Taekwondo means “Way of Hand and Foot", and uses a powerful system of hand strikes, blocks and kicks as a means of self-discipline, physical conditioning, and self-defense. Taekwondo is the Korean martial art that is used as the foundation for the Faith Community Center Martial Arts Program. The FCC Martial Arts Program is intended as a family-oriented time of exploring the Martial Arts. Our Martial Arts Program is biblically based and refrains from teaching any Eastern mysticism which may be commonly associated with the martial arts. Martial Arts is a great way to get fit in all aspects of your physical and mental well-being: flexibility, cardio-vascular, self-defense, awareness, focus, respect, honor, persistence, coordination, agility, and even weight loss.
