Taekwondo is more than kicking & punching. Practicing the martial art of Taekwondo is about building your total well-being, physically and emotionally.
Let Taekwondo bring out the positive qualities that have always been part of you!
Fitness is one of the biggest benefits of martial arts. Taekwondo is one of the greatest forms of physical fitness that can help children, teens, and adults achieve many of their fitness goals, including weight loss and toning. Martial arts helps train your mind along with your body, making physical fitness a life-long habit.
Martial arts bring more structure to a child’s life. All good martial arts instructors have a clearly defined set of rules that are constantly reinforced to help a child learn good behavior. This helps them grow into better, more mature individuals.
Martial art students learn the value of truthfulness and through this honesty, it creates trust among people. Communicating in groups gives those who are shy, a safe place to come out of their shells and be willing to interact and create relationships with others. Seeing the individual improvements and goals accomplished from hard work, patience, and dedication, our students develop confidence in themselves and are more likely to become successful leaders.
Whether you’re a teen or adult, there is always the pressure of competing with those of your age group. By focusing on your individuality, martial arts promotes self-improvement rather than encouraging you to compete with others.
Every child has a different learning and developing pace, and they are often bullied and mocked for that. Martial arts allows a child to work and learn at their own pace, which boosts their self-esteem and keeps them motivated.
By learning martial arts, you'll have the ability to learn and train how to perform self-defense maneuvers in situations where there is a real threat. Martial arts can help prepare students of all ages how to defend themselves.
Self-confidence doesn’t come naturally for most people, but it can most certainly be developed over time, especially during childhood. Learning a martial art means accomplishing new goals, which gives one a much-needed confidence boost. Taekwondo can help instill a sense of discipline and self-confidence in your child that they will carry over to all aspects of their life.
In almost all Taekwondo classes, students are made to perform one task after another. This makes it imperative that they pay extra attention and follow directions. Typically younger children generally have a lower attention span, Taekwondo can help teach them how to focus on certain instructions. This type of clear-headed attentiveness instilled in a child at a young age carries over into other aspects of their life.
At our school, you'll be working alongside students with the same goals as you, learning and growing together. Sometimes being in a new environment is scary for kids, but learning how to handle and navigate that situation in a safe environment is a great skill that will benefit them for life!
Martial arts have a substantial positive impact on children and their academic performance. An improvement in the physical fitness of an individual has a positive impact on the brain, enhancing their ability to perform well in school. Taekwondo also helps improve the heart and lung function of a child, leading to better blood flow in the brain that enhances their cognitive abilities.
Taekwondo is more than kicking & punching. Practicing the martial art of Taekwondo is about building your total well-being, physically and emotionally.

"Olivia has grown so much since she started working with Master Peter at High Kick. Her ability to focus and stay on task has improved so much. She has built up her strength and confidence and absolutely LOVES coming here! Watching her improve and master skills has been a joy to see. :)
"Since becoming a member, Brendan has become more active and physically fit. He tells us that he needs to eat healthy food so he can be strong for TKD (lol). It is an activity that he enjoys learning & looks forward to every week. He has become more motivated and eager to try new things and we believe it is helping greatly with is self-esteem."
"I feel as if our daughter Zoe has become more self confident since starting Tae Kwon Do. We look forward to achieving more goals!"
"Rosalie has shown interest in both attending Taekwondo and practicing at home. We are so proud of her. She has shown improvements in accountability, responsibility and confidence."
"Amazing wonderful place!!! Staff and students are so friendly and welcoming! I can't say enough good and positive things. What a great place for kids and adults to feel supported and respected. I wish I could give more stars!"
"I've been attending Peter Speciale's High Kick Tae Kwon Do for over 6 years years and the experience has been great. I would recommend this place for anyone interested in doing a martial art and putting in the time and commitment to become a black belt. I have been a black belt for over 2 years and will hopefully receive my 2nd degree in the next coming months. To anyone thinking about pursuing the martial arts definitely try this place out!"
"I joined High Kick a year ago and I can't imagine being anywhere else. High Kick is my TKD family and I'm looking forward to continue my instruction and skills here for a long time."
"Lincoln has taken great interest in Taekwondo. It has added additional structure to his schedule, increased his motivation and discipline. He has also made friends and become more confident in social situations. It is also nice to incorporate an aspect of our Korean culture into his everyday life."
"Great Taekwondo Studio for families! Master Peter possesses the right mix of skill, compassion, discipline, and encouragement to foster student success."
"Amy's flexibility has improved and she loves doing kicks! She feels less shy and more confident in school."
"Olivia has benefited tremendously from Master Peter's Tae Kwon Do. Her level of focus and ability to work independently has gone up, along with her confidence.
We are excited to continue watching her grow both as a student and a tiny person! :)"
"I am so happy that she has found a safe place where she is encouraged and free to be herself. I believe it has done wonders for her self-esteem, especially how positive & supportive you and the other members are and how patient & kind everyone is. How fortunate we are to have found this wonderful establishment!"
