Ha’s Taekwondo Academy (Martial Arts)

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit Ha’s Taekwondo Academy.

Ha’s Taekwondo teaches the spirit and techniques of traditional Korean martial arts. While the hand and foot techniques of Ha’s “Tae Kwon (跆拳)” may be similar to other martial arts, the spirit of “Do (Tao, 道)” is different.
This is because Master Ha has studied [Exercise-neuropsychology] for 38 years and developed a unique and excellent Taekwondo program.
For example, developing creative Taekwondo programs such as ‘Taekwondo Character Development (TCD)’ for children, ‘Taekwondo Clinical Support (TCS)’ program for the therapy of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and children with emotional-behavioral problems, and ‘Yang Seng Exercise (YSE)’ for adult health and well-being.

In addition to this, he researched and developed Olympic Taekwondo techniques and led the U.S. university national team to victory at the 2009 Pen-Am University Taekwondo Championships. As a result, he received the ‘U.S. University Team Coach Award’ (2009), proving that he is one of the best in the world as a master.

“Other Martial arts and techniques may look similar. However, the teaching methods and experiences of the Instructors can’t be the same..”
–Grand Master Tae E. Ha
