Boston Tae Kwon Do | Chung Do Kwan

The symbol of our school beautifully expresses our philosophy. The yin-Yang symbolizes the balance that we all must strive to experience in our lives. At the center of the Yin-Yang is a different illustration of balance, namely the balance between body and mind. The fist embodies the physical aspects of the martial art: the graceful kicks as well as the thousand-year-old prearranged movement patterns called forms. At the center of the fist is a scroll, symbolic of the mind. Necessary in successfully performing any physical activity are the mind’s discipline, perseverance to achieve, and expression of creativity. Written on the scroll in Korean are the words “Chung Do Kwan.” Just as the scroll in the center of the fist symbolizes that one’s mind is at the heart of one’s physical abilities, the writing on the scroll reveals that Chung Do Kwan is a pathway to help the mind focus and attain balance and inner peace. Through exercising our mind and body we can achieve purity.

Every class begins with stretching and basic form, preparing the body and the mind for our workout. Throughout the practice we investigate the philosophical and creative applications of the physical techniques and movements. Every class emphasizes the artistic connection between the body and the mind.

The classes are taught by an experienced team of black belt instructors: Gopal Swamy, Mark Hronec, and Adam Swain.
