Central Park Taekwondo on the Upper West Side is the neighborhood’s premier martial arts school for children and adults. Taekwondo is the most widely practiced discipline in the martial arts world and it means “the way of the hand and foot”. Read below to learn all about the special promotion they’re running for the month November!
The school was founded on the tenets of Harmony, Unity, and Community with the last one signifying the value of having a group of people working together to achieve a shared goal. The instructors at Central Park Taekwondo believe this common interest or objective is crucial for the independent success of each student. It’s imperative for the student to feel the support of their respective community in order to overcome challenges.
The environment at Central Park Taekwondo is supportive and welcoming to everyone. It’s the perfect place for those who have no previous experience in the martial arts. The good-hearted nature of owner Master Teresa Throckmorton exemplifies the sense of union and encouragement that exists within each instructor. Throckmorton is a 5th degree black belt Master Instructor who is officially certified by the World Taekwondo Federation and the Kukkiwon. She makes sure students follow the rules of the World Taekwondo Federation School for competitions with a level of expertise that’s unparalleled.
