The Columbia Association Taekwondo is proud to be the ONLY program authorized as an official member school of the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF-USA) in Howard County and one of three in the state of Maryland! The ITF is the world’s original and oldest sanctioning body for Taekwondo as developed by the art’s founder, General Choi Hong-Hi. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean Martial Art known for its dynamic flying and spinning kicks. Taekwondo provides a fun and progress-oriented experience that will instill a positive attitude, build confidence and self-esteem, develop character, promote the desire to learn, improve motivation and concentration and teach self-discipline and respect. Classes are taught in a safe and friendly environment for kids and adults by experienced Master Instructors.
