Learning how to use one's body is one of the very first things that all people learn in life. In Taekwondo, it is no different. One of the earliest and most important aspects of Taekwondo is the knowledge of how the body works to make our techniques effective. In this seminar, we will cover the natural planes of motion of the body, the physiology of the musculaoskeletal system as it relates to the practice of Taekwondo, in order to better understand how to maximize the effectiveness of your technique, while minimizing the risk of injury to the body during training. Come join us!
WELCOME!
Welcome to the Evergreen Taekwondo Academy! The Evergreen Taekwondo Academy is an award winning Taekwondo school that has been providing professional martial arts training for over 40 years, and we are proud of our program and the success stories that go with it! Our Taekwondo program and affiliation with Kukkiwon and the Korea Taekwondo Moo Duk Kwan Association has been responsible for training over a thousand black belt students and many National Champions as we take great pride in our commitment to excellence. In addition, we highly value the relationships with our students and their families, and as a result, our program has a very high retention rate with students who have been with us for 15 years or longer.
The Evergreen Taekwondo Academy is owned and operated by Master Sean Dalton, 7th degree Black Belt. We are a Kukkiwon Certified School, which is very important to an individual's martial arts training. Being a Kukkiwon school means that we are held to the strictest standards by the Kukkiwon who oversees Taekwondo world wide. As you train at our school, when you obtain your Black Belt, because you have achieved it with the Kukkiwon's approval, you will be recognized as a black belt both Nationally and Internationally. There are many, many Taekwondo schools, but unless they have the Kukkiwon approval, the black belt is only as good as the piece of paper it is written on.
In addition to our affiliation with the Kukkiwon, the Evergreen Taekwondo Academy has a heritage rooted originally in the Korean Moo Duk Kwan. We are also associated with USA Taekwondo, giving us access to the Olympic Taekwondo circuit in the U.S., and to the International Olympic Taekwondo circuit through World Taekwondo. If you are considering starting your Taekwondo journey, or continuing on from your present journey, we invite you to come visit us! We'd love to have the opportunity to have you as part of our Taekwondo family!
Choosing a Martial Arts School

Follow us on social media!
The decision to enroll your child and/or yourself in a school of martial arts represents both an investment of time and money. However, choosing the right school is not always easy as there are many factors that one must consider. As you choose a Taekwondo studio, one of the most important factors is that it is a school that is certified by the Korean Kukkiwon. By following the Kukkiwon standards and their teaching system, it allows us to certify that as the student moves through the ranks, that the belt levels they achieve are recognized. There are many martial arts "mills" that turn out students and hand them black belts, but the belts would not be recognized outside of that specific studio. As a Kukkiwon school, we are not only certified, but our instructors are certified and re-certified every 2 years. Kukkiwon rank is the most sought after Taekwondo rank in the world, and is considered the gold star standard amongst the Taekwondo community. Students with Kukkiwon rank are recognized world-wide and are looked upon with great respect by the Taekwondo community.
