Welcome

We practice Chung Do Kwan style (which translates into "blue wave") of Tae Kwon Do which is rooted in older Korean martial arts. Tae Kwon Do basically means "The way of the hand and foot". The style emphasizes strong, quick techniques such as blocks, punches, and kicks to disable an opponent. No weapons are used. Being partially influenced by the tiger, it is a strong, fast, and powerful martial art.

The North Carolina Chapter is part of the World Tae Kwon Do Association, led by Grand Master Duk Sung Son, 9th degree black belt. We are part of the Southeast Division (North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia), overseen by Master Emmel, 6th degree black belt, who instructs in Charleston, SC. Paul Kelly, 6th degree black belt, is the senior ranking member in North Carolina and will be starting up classes soon after selecting an appropriate location. David Robinette, 4th degree black belt, located in Charlotte, NC, teaches in Concord which is near the Charlotte area. Mark Moore, 4th degree black belt, is the senior instructor for the Raleigh area. See the Classes page for detailed information on specific classes. Students of all ages, 10 and up, are welcome.

Paul Kelly has his own class site as well at Kelly's Tae Kwon Do
