Fun Facts
Question:
Why do Taekwon-Do practitioners use 2 hands to shake hands?

Answer:
It is a gesture of respect, as we wouldn't receive anything of great value (an expensive vase, a baby) using only one hand.
 
Testimonials
"To devote himself to teaching Taekwon-Do is a laudable decision. That great school of self-discipline, philosophy and martial arts is a jewel of the East Asian tradition. [Master] Kwok has the insight to recognize its full significance and the determination to help his students do so."

"I joined Gotham Taekwon-Do in January, having done Taekwon-Do at 2 previous schools. Of the 3, I am enjoying Gotham the best. The way that Master Sardiñas and Master Kwok teach us is amazing, jovial yet serious. Each lesson is different like each combination of students. Both instructors go the extra mile and make sure that everyone's needs aren't ignored. The atmosphere that they have created is very supportive with each student helping each other with patterns and flying side kicks, etc. etc. etc. At some point in every lesson, we review the 5 tenets of Taekwon-Do, Courtesy, Integrity, Self-Control, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit. After being at Gotham for 5 ½ months now, I learned that the instructors aren't people here to make money, but people with a genuine love of Taekwon-Do. It shows in the way they teach, and in the way they act. Gotham Taekwon-Do has taught me that Taekwon-Do isn't only a martial art, but a way of life."

"Both my seven-year-old son and I are big fans of Master Sardiñas!

My son has learned to love Taekwon-Do because of Master Sardiñas' nurturing, yet no-nonsense, way of teaching. He wants to do well, and listens carefully.

Master Sardiñas is very clearly invested in instructing students to achieve great things - no matter what level. She is serious and specific - and always has a smile and compliment for everyone."

- A delighted mother of a young green belt



"Our daughter loves going to Master Sardiñas' class since 3 years ago. The techniques are taught to build solid skills with no bad habits in a child friendly way. The children especially love the games that develop reflex, endurance, and strength. We have observed other children of higher rank from other institutes that nowhere near the competency of the children of Master Sardiñas' lower belts. Master Sardiñas is warm, inspiring, encouraging, funny, and knows the individual needs of each child. The children love and respect her.

Our daughter gained self-confidence, physical fitness, and martial arts skills from the nurturing of Master Sardiñas. We unreservedly recommend Master Sardiñas."
