Oxford Alpine Taekwondo

Oxford Alpine Taekwondo is a Kukkiwon-style Taekwondo club located in Oxford, New Zealand. The club offers a community-based programme for families and individuals who are interested in learning Taekwondo. Taekwondo, also known as Tae Kwon Do or TKD, is a martial art that promotes values such as respect, trust, open communication, honesty, courtesy, loyalty, and cooperation.

At Oxford Alpine Taekwondo, members can benefit from the physical and mental development that Taekwondo offers. The practise of Taekwondo enhances self-esteem by improving physical and mental abilities. It also builds confidence by encouraging individuals to achieve different grades and participate in competitions throughout the year. The discipline of Taekwondo is emphasised through rigorous training of both the body and mind in the tenets and techniques of the martial art.

One of the key aspects of Oxford Alpine Taekwondo is its focus on self-defence. Students are taught how to recognise situations in which physical self-defence may be necessary, and they learn techniques to control such situations to their advantage. Besides self-defence, the classes also contribute to strengthening the body and mind through increased physical coordination and mental discipline.

Classes at Oxford Alpine Taekwondo cater to all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced levels. The club holds classes at the Oxford GP Hall on Mondays and Wednesdays. There are three sessions available each class night, including a Cubs class (5:00pm – 5:30pm), an early class (5:00pm – 6:00pm), and a late class (6:00pm – 7:30pm). The Oxford GP Hall is conveniently located at the Oxford A&P Showgrounds, on Showgate Drive, behind Oxford Area School.
