Club Information
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art based on the principle of peace through strength.  Founded in 1970, the Clinton YWCA Tae Kwon Do Club puts equal emphasis on the three elements required of a true martial artist; Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Tae Kwon Do teaches self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-defense.  With consistent training it will improve cardiovascular endurance, balance, flexibility, and coordination.  It is an excellent focusing activity and stress reduction activity for AD and/or HS children.  The tenets of Tae Kwon Do (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit) are an integral part of instruction.

The Clinton YWCA Tae Kwon Do Club, an affiliate of Kim's Academy of Tae Kwon Do, offers individualized attention in a pleasant family oriented learning environment.  Students learn at their own pace and ability but are asked to give 100 percent in training.

We are a member of the American ChungDoKwan TaeKwonDo Association (ACTA).  The president of both Kim's Academy and the ACTA is Grand Master In Mook Kim, a 9th degree black belt and the highest ranking person in the ChungDoKwan style.  The ACTA has its national headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, and over fourty clubs throughout the U.S.

The Clinton YWCA Tae Kwon Do Club has over 60 members who range in age from 8 to over 60.  Students are accepted from 5 years of age and older.  New students may attend introductory classes by appointment and must complete a 6 week orientation class.  The first two classes are free of charge.
