About our classes
We have been an active part of the Irvine Community for the last 31 years. We hold our practices in several community centers, each class is one hour long. Once you register with the city, you are welcome to attend all classes open to all belt levels.
- Traditional Chung Do Kwan style of Tae Kwon Do, with emphasis on kicking and hand techniques, progressively building strength and conditioning.
- This style does not practice contact sparring.
- When everyone brings energy to the class, we all perform better. Focus helps us to develop our minds as well as our bodies. Strength and Power come from practice.
Regardless of your intial level of physical fitness, confidence, or strength, you can achieve a level of fitness and self assurance that you never dreamed possible.
A Typical Class
Run
We start with a short run to warm up out muscles.Stretching
We line up in belt order and do several muscle stretches.Basics
These are the building blocks of everything in our style.Forms
We practice Spirit, Focus and Power. This means snapping every move, stopping at the end of every move (ours is not a flowing style), with correct stances and with shouts at the appropriate places.Free Style
This is the sparring section of the class. We use protective gear and practice our fighting style. Free Style develops quickness in your reactions and accuracy, as well as stamina in short bursts. We practice full power-no contact sparring.Three-Step
This is more formalized attacking and blocking practice. Do all moves with speed and accuracy. This develops correct form and coordinates combinations of moves. This should be very strong and hard but do not try to dominate your opponent; pay attention so that both participants can practice their timing, strength and accuracy. Very good for coordination, balance and stamina. If you are not winded after a set, you are not going hard enough.Warm Downs
Provides time for stretching and announcements.
