Description

 The Adult program at CTC goes beyond emphasis on the physical aspects of Taekwondo. Our system is designed to build the entire individual. Classes generally last an hour and fifteen minutes, and are open to anyone 12 or older.

The curriculum rotates through a six-week cycle. We cover basic techniques, traditional forms (patterns), devastating self-defense (including weapons training), sparring, and breaking, ending with a week for review. Each class begins with warm-ups and stretching. The mental aspects of the martial arts are built into our comprehensive training program as well. Students are taught deep breathing and meditation techniques. We also teach proper etiquette, Korean terminology, and guide students in the learning of the martial way.

Taekwondo can be an excellent stress-reliever for adults. The invigorating physical training and effective mental techniques offered by our program are often exactly what adults need to recharge from the stress of work and family responsibilities. Our adult students also derive great benefit from the stretching and flexibility training built into each class.

Many of the students at Cincinnati Taekwondo Center report finding an emotional home. Surrounded by other students with positive energy and enthusiasm, adults feel comfortable as they progress and learn. Our school is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Men and women feel equally at home, as the variety of our curriculum offers something for everyone. We have many adult classes throughout the day and into the evening to fit almost any schedule.
