Creative Taekwondo

For foreigners looking to get into shape and achieve a better understanding of Korean culture and etiquette, taekwondo is your best choice. However, the biggest challenge is not just getting your black belt before you leave but finding the right “dojeong” or school. There are so many dojeongs in Ulsan, it can be a difficult choice, not to mention so few speak English. However, Creative Taekwondo has you covered.

Creative Taekwondo offers classes in English for both kids and adults. Master Kim has been teaching the art of Taekwondo in English to foreigners in Ulsan for over 4 years. He has a distinct understanding of how to work with and train foreigners. This is a great advantage over other schools whose main focus is usually looking after Korean elementary school children.

It is important to know that Taekwondo is not about remembering a sequence of steps, but is a holistic approach to exercise and wellbeing.  No matter what your personal goals are, or what your fitness level is, Taekwondo is a fun, confidence boosting and rewarding way to exercise. Taekwondo is Korea’s national sport and the more that you understand about Taekwondo the more insight you gain into Korean culture. 

 Taking a class at Creative Taekwondo is a great way to blow off some steam after a long workweek or to finally achieve those fitness goals. However, one of the biggest benefits is making friends as you all work together to achieve your black belt. As students master new skills, they will progress through the belts and obtain their black belt in about a year. 

A typical class will start off with stretching and some meditation. This will prepare the body and mind for the training ahead. Classes usually will then progress to practicing the basic Taekwondo forms, a set pattern of moves unique to each belt level. Then kick and punch training to lead into some sparring. Protective gear is always worn during the sparring to insure the safety of the students.
