At Ta Mo Tao Martial Arts you will find a practice where people find personal growth and challenge to be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. With practice and the right attitude anything can be achieved. We teach the traditional form of Korean Karate Taekwondo (which means way of hand and foot). This is the worlds most popular martial art form and incorporates combat techniques using hands and feet.
Taekwondo is renowned for its great kicks and hand strikes but is also known for its self defence, sport competition, exercise benefits, meditation aspects and philosophy. Taekwondo was designed for the purpose of both self defence and personal growth. Through the intensive physical and mental practice one can become the best that one can be.

Taekwondo is a Korean form of Karate, a martial art that involves the training of unarmed combat techniques for self-defence as well as health and well-being. Students of Taekwondo develop fast, automatic reflexes and power generation in every movement. An example of the union of mental and physical discipline is the breaking of boards, which requires both physical mastery and mental focus.
The discipline of Asian Martial Arts has a long history, full of meaningful rituals that are sometimes lost amongst modern practitioners. This is unfortunate, since nothing in Martial Arts exists without reason or practical function. Failure to observe these simple behaviours not only detracts from the depth of the arts; it can create dangerous situations.
