Itokwan Taekwondo & Self-Defense

History

While today Taekwondo has become one of the most widespread martial arts in the world, partly due to its popularity as an olympic sport, we, at Itokwan NYC, feel that the original art is getting lost. While we also do train in sparring (WTF competition style), we thrive to give a more traditional approach, and practical use of the Art, while at the same time implementing self-defense. As a result, we also integrate a great deal of Hapkido as well ( the Korean version of Aikido) which complements greatly Taekwondo. If Taekwondo is offensive, Hapkido is defensive, and all about redirecting the opponent's energy.
