Welcome to Southern California Taekwondo Academy website. SCTA was founded in 1991 by Master Harold Kim with 37 years of martial art experience and a 6th degree black belt from KUKKIWON. He also holds a 1st degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Carlson Gracie Team. Serving the community of Yorba Linda, Placentia, Brea, Anaheim and Orange, California for the past 27 years. Master Harold Kim prides himself in it's tradition, technique and has devoted his life to it's development. He constantly inspires and guides his students and instructors to abide by the martial art tradition. At SCTA, we strive for excellence. We train our students to maintain the highest standards, both physical and mental, for increased motivation and self-esteem.
SELF CONFIDENCE - It doesn't come naturally for many children, but rather is developed over period of time . As a child accomplished new goals, his or her confidence level increases. Children become more self confident in TKD because they progress individually at their own pace and are not judged against others.
SELF DEFENSE - Children's self-defense takes many forms. SCTA teaches children to think instead of panic in potential serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids.
BETTER GRADES - Being a SCTA kid also means being a better student. All SCTA kid's program learn skills, such as following directions, paying attention in class and participate in class activities that help them to become better students.
COORDINATION - SCTA challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility, and poise, often neglected in many team sports available to children in this age group.
FUN - SCTA lessons are a dynamic and challenging approach to the martial arts for awkward or shy, bold, nice or maybe even energetic once in a while.... SCTA is probably for a kid just like yours !
We train our students to the best of our ability. Some students come to us in shape, where others come to us out of shape. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we had some adults who started as late as 65, and have still earn their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Master H.Kim will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is willingness to try.
Here are some benefits you can expect from training in SCTA.
FITNESS - The principle of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body. For power, you develop the large, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques come from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs.
SELF-DEFENSE - When the speed and power developed through Taekwondo techniques are used in a self-defense situation against the soft vulnerable part of an attackers's body, the result can be incredible. Taekwondo allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strength, such as power in the legs while learning a method of self-defense effective against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can't defend yourself, your confidence will grow. Confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
