Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do is an ancient form of training for both mind and body, with an emphasis on the development of moral character. It is a native Korean form of self defense that embraces kicking, punching, blocking, dodging, and parrying. Golden State TaeKwonDo is one of the Bay Area&s oldest and most respected schools due to its unparalleled depth of talent and dedication to the arts. Golden State is owned and run by Chris Jensen and Debbie Pedersen, both talented instructors with fifth and sixth degree black belts to their names. Both instructors have trained elite athletes, although both have individual specialties. Pedersen was twice the U.S. National Silver Medalist in Olympic-style TaeKwonDo, and has become widely recognized for training high level women athletes. Jensen&s passion for the arts is obvious to those who study with him, and he dedicates himself wholeheartedly to his teaching, which is particularly evident in his work with the juniors. Golden State places a huge emphasis on safety and respect. Whatever age you may be, a wide variety of classes and times are available, as well as private or semi–private lessons. In addition to our regular TaeKwonDo program, adult members have the option of training in co–ed kickboxing or women&s kickboxing classes. TaeKwonDo is an invaluable aspect of life no matter what your age is. For children, it teaches them the value of discipline as well as gaining confidence and self-esteem; these moral and physical lessons will carry over to all aspects of their lives.
