Stretching is an important part of Taekwon-Do. Flexibility is the key to performing great techniques, especially kicks. It also helps us stay injury free.
Learn to develop inner and outer strength and go beyond what you thought was possible.
Board breaking (Destruction) is a great way to test our strength and technique. (Mr Conal Page from Taranaki Taekwon-Do)
ABOUT

ITF Taekwon-Do, Self defence,Empowerment
EmpowerU Taekwon-Do was born out of a simple idea: bringing high quality, accessible and affordable Self Defence classes to the community. Kirsten and Frances started with teaching Self Defence to the public. Schools, small groups and gym classes.
We decided to broaden our expertise by opening a martial arts school where all ages can come and train. Alex Lovell 5th Dan joined the team and assists in weekly trainings at the club. 3rd Dan Theresa Farmer is now also an assistant instructor.
Our unique approach to learning and top quality instructors makes EmpowerU Taekwon-Do one of the best martial arts clubs in New Plymouth. We invite you to explore our engaging and diverse course content, and stop by for a visit at your convenience.
Classes all based off ITF Taekwon-Do - Founded by General Choi Hong Hi
EmpowerU is a part of ITFHQ Korea and the Chang Hon New Zealand group
