Taekwondo
The way of the hand and the foot

Taekwondo is a martial art that focuses on powerful kicking techniques, making it distinct from other martial arts like karate or southern kung fu styles. The philosophy behind this is that the legs are the longest and strongest weapons a martial artist has, making them ideal for executing strikes without leaving oneself vulnerable to retaliation. The Korean people historically believed that hands were too valuable to be used in combat.
Taekwondo is a popular martial art for people of all ages and genders. It offers physical benefits such as improved strength, speed, balance, flexibility, and stamina. The breaking of wooden boards, bricks, or tiles is an example of the mental and physical discipline that Taekwondo promotes. This requires mastery of the technique and the ability to focus one's power.
Taekwondo also teaches important life skills such as courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. These are the Taekwondo tenets that K Martial Arts Centre emphasizes in its teachings to help develop students' character. In addition to character development, Taekwondo can boost a child's confidence.
Our students receive certified certificates from Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters) in Seoul, South Korea, and K Martial Arts Centre is an official member of Taekwondo BC, Taekwondo CANADA, Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters), and WTF (World Taekwondo Federation).
Hapkido 
The way of coordinating energy
Hapkido is a versatile Korean martial art that emphasizes self-defense using joint locks, strikes, and traditional weapons. Its techniques range from long-range kicks to close-range throws, all centered around circular motion, non-resistance, and control of the opponent.
The circular motion principle ensures that all movements are round, while the water principle emphasizes adapting flexibly to the opponent's movements. Non-resistance principles enable the Hapkido practitioner to influence and redirect the opponent's movements without relying on brute strength.
​ K Martial Arts Centre teaches Hapkido techniques for self-defense against strangers, various attacks, and bullies. In addition to teaching physical techniques, we also promote "Stranger Danger" awareness and training. Our students receive certified certification from The Korea Hapkido Total Federation, and our centre is an official member of the
