Rouleau’s Taekwondo -  603-756-3318 -  312 Washington St, Keene NH 03431

Taekwondo is a martial art (combat and sport fighting system) that was developed in Korea.  Taekwondo  utilizes footwork, stances, blocking, striking, dynamic kicking, sparring (controlled fighting), and a lot of practice to gain physical strength, agility, self-discipline, and therefore self-confidence.  Developing the skills required to defend one’s self is a by-product of your training, as you become more fit,  more aware and alert of yourself, your environment, and potential dangers.  These abilities continue to progress and become more proficient as your skills develop and you advance through the ranks (belt levels).

Some of the benefits of training in Taekwondo are obvious, while others are more obscure and subtle.  Taekwondo will improve such areas as attitude, and self-discipline, respect for yourself and others.  It will help you develop a greater sense of personal space and safety.  You will learn to cope with success and failure, and will go on to evolve into a more well-rounded and complete individual amongst other individuals striving for the same goals, in the supportive community of our training hall (dojang).  If you make it to the honored rank of Black Belt, then you will have attained a great sense of accomplishment.  For many, one of their life’s greatest achievements!

We also offer a starting point for competitive students to experience the martial art tournaments which allow a Taekwondo student a venue to discover their true potential amongst other very highly trained athletes.   Unlike team sports, Taekwondo offers an athletic endeavor where the student does not have to “qualify” to make the team at the basic level of competition.  They can compete simply for the enjoyment of it, though the option to push the elite envelope and rise to the national level is possible, with a shot at a place on a future Olympic team within the realm of possibilities for the ambitious athlete.  One is limited only by one’s self!

With over 50 years of combined teaching experience our instructors are some of the best in the area! Learn more about them here.
