Welcome to the Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do web site! Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do is a Jarrettsville Parks and Recreation Program, a non-profit organization.  Our Tae Kwon Do program is great for people of all ages.  We are dedicated to providing high quality Tae Kwon Do training at an affordable price and we encourage Tae Kwon Do as a family activity.  Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do is much more than a program that teaches self-defense.  Our program provides a chance for youth and adults to develop qualities that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.  These qualities include: Courtesy, Perseverance, Self-Control, Loyalty, Integrity, Patience, Respect, and Confidence. Our art and sport are grounded in the the Korean traditions; mind, body and spirit are fused to shape the complete martial artist . Our goal is for our students to develop an indomitable spirit that leads them to victory in the challenges they face throughout life. Every effort is made to connect the training in martial arts to real life skills. Occasionally guest speakers are invited to address the class on issues concerning personal growth.

Master Joe is qualified in CPR and basic first aid treatment to sports injuries. Proper hydration and self-care is stressed, and athletes are not encouraged to "walk off" an injury, no matter how minor.

Our class includes three sections - Tae Kwon Do (fighting and form), Hap Ki Do (self- defense), and Judo (throwing, sweeping falling and engaging in mat combat). In addition, guest speakers are invited to class to discuss issues ranging from sports training to life skills. Beyond becoming a skilled martial artist, the primary goal of Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do is to broaden and improve the character of the students.

Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do is the only non-profit school that competes in the State and National Junior Olympics.  We are very proud of our Jarrettsville Tae Kwon Do Tournament Team who has captured numerous gold, silver and bronze medals in forms and sparring competitions at both the State and National level.
