| Founded by Kwang Jo Choi, 9th Degree Grand Master, Choi Kwang-Do is the culmination of more than 50 years of martial arts experience and is recognized as one of the fastest growing martial arts. It is designed to help students achieve 3 main goals: Optimum Health Practical Self-Defense Personal Development In addition, the "Our Children" section contains additional topics for parents regarding our approach to teaching children. |
Optimum Health
The Choi Kwang-Do system is designed for prevention and healing of adult disease also
known as modern disease or poor lifestyle disease. These degenerative diseases include
diabetes, heart and circulatory problems, arthritis, osteoporosis, and obesity. The Choi
Kwang-Do system of training, coupled with a healthy diet, helps solve the root causes of
these medical conditions and helps the body quickly heal itself as it adapts to a newer
healthier state through proper exercise – one of the most important element for preventative
health. Balanced integrated movements involving equal amounts of left and right side
training helps prevent deterioration of brain cells, allows for cognitive thinking, and provides
memory improvements. In addition, learning how to properly adjust frequency, duration,
and intensity of exercise helps to stimulate the circulatory system, increases blood flow and
cardiovascular health, develops fast twitch muscle fiber, quickens reaction times, and
improves muscle toning.
Most professionals agree that stress contributes to aging and health problems. Through
Choi Kwang-Do training, we teach students to reduce the effects of stress by improving
nervous system development and function. Proper breathing methods- during stretching,
training, and at rest - further promotes a stress free lifestyle. Through proper sustained
aerobic exercise, the body releases natural chemicals that stimulate the brain and provide
a feel good effect - further contributing to the reduction of stress. Choi Kwang-Do stretches
help to lengthen muscles, increase circulation and blood flow, stimulate neural receptors,
and relax both the mind and body. At the end of every class, students leave feeling
refreshed and rejuvenated in the knowledge that they are exercising properly - they are
exercising for optimum health!
Practical Self-Defense
Choi Kwang-Do utilizes practical movements and target training to develop techniques that
work. Choi Kwang-Do techniques are designed to utilize the entire body - maximizing
power to the target. Techniques employ scientific principles such as plyometric stretch,
sequential motion, plantar flex, and full range of motion - both in the limbs and joints - to
deliver this impact. Speed is further refined during class drills to improve fast twist muscle
type fiber development and reaction time. All of this works to enhance inner confidence and
peace of mind in the knowledge that you can protect yourself!
Because of the powerful nature of the art, students are taught that the first goal is to avoid a
potentially dangerous situation. This includes understanding different levels of awareness
and training intuition - paying attention to how you are feeling in a particular area or about
someone nearby. This is all geared towards improving your confidence about your
surroundings and recognizing when something doesn't feel right so appropriate actions
can be taken.
Unfortunately, many martial arts today still practice tournament or sparring which is not
conducive to learning effective self-defense skills. On the contrary, Choi Kwang-Do
maximizes the student's ability to defend his/her self through a series of specialized
defense drills. Students learn to deal with oncoming attacks and react with explosive force.
Reaction and movement skills are further refined through these street proven defense
drills. Furthermore, adult students learn how to deal with close range attacks - opponents
grabbing or locking them in hold - and respond with a "never give up" means to recover and
counter attack. Through this entire system, the tools needed to survive a real situation are
developed. Ultimately, students feel more confident that if an unavoidable situation arose,
they have a means to deal with it.
Personal Development
Choi Kwang-Do's training methods and concepts are unique in the fitness industry. When
improved health and practical self-defense is coupled with positive mental benefits, the
result is strong self-control, sharp mental focus, and unshakable self-confidence! Many of
our students find their improved focus and self-discipline carries over into their personal
lives which helps them reach their fitness, lifestyle, and personal goals. Children find they
are reaching higher levels of academic achievement while adults discover improvements in
their workplace productivity and alertness. Finally, reducing stress helps everyone deal with
every day life in a much more positive and effective way - contributing to an improved quality
of life.
Choi Kwang-Do is taught in a non-competitive environment by instructors who genuinely
care about their students. Instructors work to provide individual attention and feedback to
each and every student in order to maximize their development. Students come away from
each class feeling better everyday while improving their health, reducing stress, and
developing a positive self-image that branches into all areas of their life!
Choi Kwang-Do is a dynamic art - one that continually evolves. As new information on
health, fitness, and improved training methods are discovered and developed, it may be
formally integrated into the Choi Kwang-Do training system. As students in Choi Kwang-
Do, it is welcoming to know that you are not training in an system that is static or based on
outdated training methods.
