What is the Difference Between Traditional TaeKwonDo & Sport TaeKwonDo?
Studies show that kids trained in Traditional TaeKwonDo (emphasizing
discipline & self-control) showed an increase in self-esteem,
lowered aggressiveness, improved social skills, improved values &
lowered anxiety.
Kids that studied Sport, or Olympic TaeKwonDo,
showed increases in delinquency, higher aggressiveness, lowered
self-esteem, lowered values & increased anxiety.

New Rules Considered for the World Taekondo Federation Trying to re-invigorate Taekwondo sparring the WTF has considered a lot
of new changes. Some, like the introduction of gloves to promote more
punching are long overdue. Some like the possibility of colored doboks,
not so good. |
Family Rates In an effort to make classes more accessable to families we have a family rate. The first family member's tuition is $55, the second is $45 and the third and more will pay $35. Students can attend unlimited classes at no additional cost. |
Adult & Kids Mixed Classes While the idea of seeing a parent & child practice together sounds great it really serves neither of them. Technique that is effect for an adult ( bone breaking arm locks, strikes to the eyes etc.) are not appropriate for children. Likewise, watering down the technique for an adult to fit in with the children does not meet the realistic self-defense needs of an adult. We do offer a kids class right before the adult beginning class for parents who want to train after their childs class. |
Scholarships Available The Moorhead Healthy Community Innitiative has partnered with Red River traditional TaeKwonDo to offer scholarships for Moorhead school children. |
Tuition Pre-Pay Special Red River Traditional TaeKwonDo is going to begin offering benefits to
any students who would like to pre-pay for one year or two years of
classes. |
