Programs
Active Start
Our Active Start program is designed to build listening skills, while building agility, balance and coordination. We start this program at the young age of 3 years old and start to prepare them by age 5 to be able to participate in the older classes. One of our focus points with this program is to prepare the children to be ready for kindergarten by enforcing listening skills and discipline. Stranger Danger Self Defense is also encouraged and taught in this program. Keeping our kids safe is a must.
Kids and Adults Taekwondo
Our Kids and Adults program, is designed to get us physically fit, mentally stronger, build confidence, while having fun in a safe environment. While our focus is on Traditional and Sport TaeKwonDo, we also build strong Self Defense skills and discipline within the student. Our Self Defense system is based strongly around the Hapkido Martial art, one of the most effective Self Defense Martial arts. This Program is designed for all ages to be able to train and we strongly encourage parents to train with their children.
Durham Hoshinkido Hapkido prides itself on being a family oriented facility with programs developed by leading experts in martial arts.
Our mission is to develop students physically, mentally and morally; the full manifesto of BEING and KNOWING. Other purposes are to build appreciation for life and to enhance their qualities through continued education, building confidence, teaching and understanding diversity. The goals set forth serves not only to develop students as future leaders, but also the community around them.
The Durham Hoshinkido Hapkido is a proud member of Martial Artists Against Bullying (MAAB) and stresses the importance of its core values, “Respect, Honor & Unity”, through producing technically proficient martial artists who demonstrate the highest standards of global citizenship and help eradicate bullying.
After School Program
At Whitby Taekwondo, we believe that physical fitness is extremely important in children’s development. That’s why we offer a great alternative to traditional after school programs, offering daily Taekwondo classes to Durham and Clarington region kids. We conveniently pick them up daily from school to participate in a martial arts class. Children will benefit from exercise while learning self-defence. They will also have time after class for homework, arts and crafts etc. in a supervised setting.
