Grand Master Kent Hups, 9th Dan Black Belt, Head Instructor
TaeKwon-Do is a Korean martial art where children and adults alike can learn self defense, improve fitness, gain confidence and, most of all, HAVE FUN! Often called "Korean Karate", TaeKwon-Do is known for its powerful kicking techniques and speed. The art was originally developed specifically to quickly teach effective self-defense to the Korean military.
One of the many great aspects of TaeKwon-Do training for kids and adults is that it isn't seasonal. Get both fantastic physical exercise and conditioning no matter what time of year it is. The discipline, respect and leadership training is yet another of the incredible benefits of TaeKwon-Do. Regardless of the age of the student, the lessons learned at Hups TaeKwon-Do translate into greater success in life - a fact proven by the incredible successes of so many of our past students!
GREAT FAMILY WORKOUTS
TaeKwon-Do is also one of the only sports in the world where parents can participate right alongside with their children. Many of our students are family members. Whether they are father and son, sister and brother or mother and daughter, the bonds that develop are strong enough to last a lifetime.
VERY AFFORDABLE
Our class has been operating out of Westminster Recreation facilities for the past 30 years continually, many of those at The MAC center. Because of our relationship with Westminster Recreation, the cost for training is much more affordable - typically only a fraction of the cost of other 'retail' type martial arts studios - and parents and students aren't locked into expensive long term contracts. There are NO CONTRACTS at Hups TaeKwon-Do!
TOP NOTCH INSTRUCTION
In addition to being much more affordable than other classes, the instruction is top notch! Our head instructor is an 9th degree blackbelt with 45 years experience practicing TaeKwon-Do. Not many schools have a 9th Degree blackbelt actively teaching each night! At Hups TaeKwon-Do, we have some of the most experienced and caring instructors available anywhere. Each class typically has two to three instructors providing the opportunity for individual attention to students and different student levels. Our assistant instructors are higher in rank than the senior instructors at many of those other higher priced 'retail' studios that require contracts. Our instructors typically are 4th or 5th Dan Black Belts or above and have many years experience instructing students in the art of TaeKwon-Do. Stop by one of our classes soon to see how we embrace all ages and all levels of ability. You'll find excellent training at much more affordable prices!
PERSONAL AND FRIENDLY INSTRUCTION
Unique among many martial arts classes, our class provides a friendly, caring environment where students can learn and grow within their own abilities. Whether the student is an elementary school student or 60+ in age, there is a place for them at Hups TaeKwon-Do. Although some of our students are some of the most competitive and award winning in the country, our students are encouraged to compete first within themselves, always striving to be the best they can while still having fun!
