TAEKWON-DO

The Iowa Gym-Nest offers one of the largest Taekwon-do programs in the area focusing primarily on children. Instruction is available beginning at age 5 through adult. Our Taekwon-Do program is conducted at our Coralville location. We have a dedicated, air-conditioned martial arts room with padded flooring and mirrored walls. This helps create an optimal and safe learning environment for young children and adults alike.

Taekwon-Do is a Korean martial art that emphasizes jumping and kicking. Like any other art form proficiency is achieved by mastering the basics. Proper attention to correct technique may seem tedious at the beginning but will prove invaluable at later stages of development. Taekwon-Do develops strength, power, flexibility, endurance and coordination. It is excellent for large motor coordination. It encourages courtesy, self-control, self-discipline, perseverance and self-confidence. Our instructors are committed to providing quality Taekwon-Do instruction. Their goal is to provide stimulating and fun instruction without compromising mastery of fundamental techniques.
