What is the difference between traditional & sport taekwondo?

Traditional Taekwondo focuses on self-defense techniques, forms (patterns), and philosophical teachings. It emphasizes discipline, respect, and the development of character. Training often includes basic movements, forms (poomsae), breaking techniques, and self-defense applications.

Sport Taekwondo, on the other hand, is oriented towards competition and physical fitness. It focuses on sparring, following rules set by organizations like the World Taekwondo Federation (WT). The training involves improving speed, agility, and scoring techniques for matches, with an emphasis on safety and sportsmanship.

What are the benefits of Taekwondo for children?

Taekwondo offers numerous benefits for children, including improved physical fitness, enhanced concentration and discipline, better self-confidence, and valuable self-defense skills. It also promotes respect, goal-setting, and a sense of accomplishment through structured training and progression.

Louis started taekwondo in Pro since 2020. At first there are 10 students in Mr. Padua class when Louis started. Although Louis knows how to kick and split, we did not know that there’s a lot to learn in taekwondo which is Pro taekwondo taught him over the years. It’s more than just a kick, punch, block,or spar. It’s gaining friends, overcoming your fear, accepting defeat.. and much more. They’re not just teaching kids, but they will treat you as a family. Mrs.Padua always checking my son how is he doing, making sure that Louis will come to class, while Mr.Padua sharpen his skills and preparing him to compete in different tournaments, here and outside Canada. I recommend Pro taekwondo if you want your kids to learn more about taekwondo.

I am pleased to provide this 5-star review for Pro Taekwondo School! My daughter has been attending this school for a little over a year now, and I have been very happy and grateful with the quality of instruction and care provided by the team. Under their guidance, my daughter has gained an impressive level of skill in taekwondo, enough to recently attend a tournament where she won 2 gold medals in poomsae and sparring! It is amazing to see how far she has come in such a short time, and it is all thanks to the dedication and expertise of the Pro Taekwondo School team. But it's not just about the medals and the belts - my daughter has also gained friendships and lasting memories through her time at the school. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, and I am grateful for the positive influence it has had on my child's life. If you're looking for a top-notch taekwondo school with skilled instructors, a welcoming community, and impressive results, Pro Taekwondo School is the place to be. Thank you to the team for all that you do!

Highly recommended!!! The classes has helped my 5 year old son to follow instructions and discipline. I love seeing my son learn, socialize and have fun! Two thumbs up to Ms. Kim and his instructors. I admire Ms. Kim’s passion and dedication. Kudos to the whole Pro Taekwondo Team!!!

Great Taekwondo School! My son has only positive experiences, making new friends, and keeping him active. The staff has been very welcoming and has made us feel part of their family. It’s nice to see my son’s progress from a white belt to a green belt.

Pro Taekwondo School has been an excellent school for my 2 boys in developing their skills and confidence in the art of martial arts. My kids used to be very timid and tend to shy away from other kids but when they started attending Pro Taekwondo, their confidence boosted a lot!

Great School, Great place to learn taekwondo. Pro Taekwondo teaches lots life lesson like respect and honor. It provides great workout and fun classes. Master Padua, Ms. Kim and other instructors are extremely supportive,respectful,friendly, professional and they dedicates their lives to ensure our kids get the respect and skills needed to be successful in their lives on and off the mats. If you are looking for a Taekwondo School for your kids…Pro Taekwondo is exactly what you are seeking, Family-run by a husband/wife team and two of their black belt son (young adults).
