Thank you for visiting YB World Taekwondo Academy!
YB World has been teaching students the art of Taekwondo for 24 years. in Stamford, CT. Our programs are specifically designed to improve the functions of the body and mind. Additionally, students follow the longstanding principles of Taekwondo which include compassion and respect. Everything that students learn in the classroom will have an application in their daily lives. It could be a self defence technique that may save a life in a dangerous situation or just an improved level of focus during school or business work.
Whether you are looking for an after school/work activity or Olympic level training, we can accommodate your needs. All of our instructors have been personally trained by our founder, Grand master Yong Bum Kim, Ph.D. Chairman of Martial Arts Major Program at the University of Bridgeport. Former Korean National Taekwondo team coach. Each one of them have over ten years of experience teaching Taekwondo and will provide a safe and encouraging environment to achieve your goals.
Even though we observe the ancient traditions of Taekwondo education, we strive to be on the cutting edge of modern technology. We offer an online curriculum where students can watch videos of our instructors performing the forms and techniques they learn in class. If you want to practice at home, or just quickly review while on your phone or tablet, the online curriculum is a great resource that is not available at most other martial arts schools.
We encourage you to review our programs and schedule to find the one that works best for you and your family. Please send an inquiry through our website for a free trial class and get started today!
