About Alliance Taekwondo

The Alliance Taekwondo Center is for the study and practice of the Korean martial arts tradition. The Alliance Taekwondo Center offers studies and training in three forms of traditional Korean martial arts; Taekwondo, Hapkido and Kumdo. Taekwondo - Taekwondo is a Korean word which means “The way of striking with the foot and hand.” This system is the most advanced evolution of the Korean combat arts, with roots as old as the first century. It is a recognized Olympic sport, and is famous for kicking techniques. The authentic Taekwondo taught by Alliance includes much of the discipline required for true Martial Arts. Hapkido - The Korean word “Hapkido” translates as “the way of harmony”; rightfully so, as it works with (rather than against) an opponent’s force. This art specializes in sweeps, throws, joint locks, leverage and pressure points, and integrates Taekwondo striking. Kumdo - Literally translated, this Korean word means “way of the sword.” This Korean art very closely parallels Japan’s Kendo. Kumbop, which is the more precise “sword method,” allows for practice with a sharp sword, including cutting.
