Spirit Taekwon-Do

Spirit Taekwon-Do is a group of four Taekwon-Do schools located in Wellington, New Zealand.

The oldest of our schools has been in operation continuously since 1995, and in more recent times senior members have begun to open a number of schools around Wellington. We currently have classes operating in Vogelmorn, Kelburn, Karori and Thorndon, training four different days a week.

All of our schools are quite small, meaning that students get the benefit of close attention from their instructor. But we also have the benefits of being a part of a larger close-knit group.

"The ultimate purpose of Taekwon-Do is to eliminate fighting by discouraging the stronger’s oppression of the weaker with a power that is based on humanity, justice, morality, wisdom and faith, thereby helping to build a better and more peaceful world."

  

Taekwon-Do is many different things to many people.

Whether you are wanting to get fit, to learn self defence, or to have a new challenge and a bit of fun, you will find what you are looking for in Taekwon-Do.

Taekwon-Do is suitable for all ages, and often you will find entire families training together. Children under 10 have gained black belts in Taekwon-Do, as have people in their 70s.

Taekwon-Do has a very strong moral culture, infused into the art by the founder, General Choi Hong Hi. While learning how to apply strikes, punches, kicks and blocks in self defence, the student will also be learning the tenets of Taekwon-Do. Through the discipline of training over a period of time the student will develop a strong morality and high self esteem. This is particularly important for children, who can learn many important life skills through training in Taekwon-Do.
