Our approach is to largely eliminate the strict — almost militaristic — training atmosphere that prevails in most martial arts. With us, fun and the joy of movement take center stage.

This is especially important in children’s training. A coach who lacks the patience to introduce young children to training without excessive strictness has no place with us. We seek — for every child and every personality — the right approach and the right key to spark enthusiasm. Anyone who trains with us and makes comparisons quickly notices that we are “different.”

We generally do not participate in tournament competitions. Our goal is to teach martial arts, not competitive sports. Nevertheless, we are happy to teach and develop “fighting” skills for those students who truly desire it. However, collecting points within a fixed set of rules, as is customary in competitions, has little to do with a real fight or genuine self-defense.

One could say that we represent a unique revolution within our discipline. For decades, with modern and innovative approaches, we have been calling on the martial arts world to let go of unnecessary traditions, to break free from a rigid corset of obligation and emptiness, and to place what is truly important and effective at the center. A philosopher once described it well: if a sculptor wants to create something good and beautiful from a stone, he chisels away what is unimportant to reveal the essential.

Tournament fighting in Taekwondo is aimed precisely at point scoring and neglects real combat and practical self-defense in real-life confrontations. Character development is also far more important to us than the constant glorification of traditions, many of which we consider no longer contemporary.

This mindset also allows us to incorporate elements and approaches from other styles, as several of our instructors have experience in additional martial arts.
