This year Redwood Meadows Tae Kwon-Do School is celebrating a significant milestone. What began as a small demonstration in the old Bragg Creek centre 25 years ago continues to this day as a thriving community-based martial arts school in Redwood Meadows.
Over these many years, more than 2,000 students have learned Tae Kwon-Do from head instructor and sixth degree black belt Mr. Jason Smith and school co-owner and fourth degree black belt Mrs. Stacie Smith. A number of students have tested for their black belts with some achieving multiple degrees including lead instructor and third degree black belt Ms. Jodie Clease.
A benefit of the school includes a class structure that encourages parents and kids to train together with many progressing through the ranks as a family.
Setting Redwood Meadows Tae Kwon-Do School apart from other martial arts programs is their long- standing relationship with the community and the continuity of high quality instruction. This consistency over 25 years allows strong connections to form within the school and offers many opportunities for student development including a special competitive program that provides national and international opportunities.
A traditional Korean martial art, Tae Kwon-Do can be a lifelong activity which not only offers physical benefits including strength, stamina and flexibility, but also includes self-defence skills, the development of confidence and the ability to persevere.
Classes are held at the Redwood Meadows Community Centre. Visitors are always welcome and registration is ongoing. Information can be found at redwoodtaekwondo.com
