Han Mi Tae Kwon Do Karate Studio

Specialties

Our training is rooted in traditional tae kwon do. The head Instructor, Robert Payne, has trained since 1993 and currently holds a 3^rd degree black belt in the style. Training is geared to be well rounded by incorporating occasional training in other styles. This ensures that students are pprepared for any self defense situation. Tae Kwon Do is especially well suited for those looking for a good cardio workout because of the high energy, high speed techniques included in training and the heavier focus on using the entire body in each technique. In the child classes there is a heavy focus on character development. Building discipline, focus, personal responsibility and other character attributes is a very important part of growing up and in martial arts training.
