About our school

Since 1982 Master S. Caputo has made ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation) Taekwon-Do available in the Greater Toronto Area. A world-level competitor in the eighties and nineties, Master Caputo has recently coached the National Junior Girls' Team twice and the National Men's Team coach for the 2003 World Championships.  The memory he prizes the most, however, occurred in 1995 when he travelled with the Founder of Taekwon-Do throughout Central America, becoming an Assistant Instructor to the Founder. There he assisted General Choi at International Instructor's Seminars - an honour that was bestown on very few Instructors during the Founder of Taekwon-Do's lifetime.

Benefits of training Taekwon-Do

1. Self Discipline
Adults and children will learn how to set goals, achieve physical and mental control and feel good about themselves.

2. Positive Goal Setting
The value of positive goal setting behaviour encouraged by Taekwon-Do training cannot be overestimated.  Belts of different colours are awarded as the individual progresses towards the major goal of black belt.  Each new belt gives the student a genuine feeling of high self-esteem and self-confidence.

3. Motivation
Taekwon-Do training provides the motivation to be active physically and rescues the student from continuous passive entertainment.

4. Personality
Taekwon-Do is a great equalizer in the personality development of the student.  Because of the self-confidence attained from learning how to defend oneself, it makes the very aggressive student calmer and more respectful towards others while the timid student becomes more outgoing and self-assertive.

5. Character
There are five tenets of Taekwon-Do that students must live by in the do-jang. Students soon discover that these also affect them out of the school environment. These tenets (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit) are crucial to Taekwon-Do.
