Special Programs
Self Defense Seminars
Self defense is not about size or strength; it is about situational awareness, attitude, and skill. Because not all dangerous situations are avoidable, it is important for anyone – man, woman, or child – to know how to handle such difficult situations for the best possible outcome to keep themselves as safe as possible.
We offer 2- to 3-hour practical self defense classes specifically designed for a myriad of target groups, including:
- Executives
- Teachers
- College students
- Women
- Seniors
- Everyone!
In these classes, targeted or general environments can be considered (depending on the scope of the class), and students are taught how to employ logical strategies and tactics to protect themselves should a dangerous situation arise. Classes not only include using leverage, momentum and vital pressure points against an attacker and how to employ practical, easy-to-learn blocks, strikes and throws, but also how to utilize readily available common items (like keys, ballpoint pens, and umbrellas) for protection.
We gladly accommodate groups of 15 or more for a very reasonable price, and will customize your class to your specific situation. Please contact us today at kslee@nctkd.com for more information and scheduling!
Sparring
Sparring is a core activity in Tae Kwon Do, and has been an Olympic sport since 2000. Though “promise sparring” (sparring with a partner, but without contact) is continually practiced in all Tae Kwon Do classes, we also have separate classes practicing Olympic-style contact sparring with full protective gear. These classes are open to all belts, all ages, though it is recommended that the student(s) have a command of basic kicks and punches.
We don't just throw our students into the ring and expect them to survive. Our instruction covers control, strategy, and techniques to work smarter while learning the sport.
Demonstration Team
Our demo team is for dedicated higher belts – both children and adults – who have an interest in representing our school to the public, while getting to do some really cool stuff! We have a number of events throughout the year in various locations throughout the Triangle. Tryouts are held regularly, and practice attendance is required for several hours per week.
Weapons
Weapons training is provided in select classes, after a student has mastered the basics. There is a variety of weaponry available, but typically a student starts with the short sticks.
Leadership Training
As a student progresses to higher belt levels, part of his/her natural progression is to begin training as leadership in the school. Special training is ensued at the Grandmaster’s discretion, when he feels the student is ready for the next step. This includes practice as an instructor, and special meetings/classes with others in the program.
