Student section

Oneonta Taekwon-Do classes are always taught by certified black belt instructors.  Our membership and participation in Taekwon-Do International strengthen the ongoing training and development required to retain the ranks we have earned.

Instructors Davis, Goodrich, McCabe, and Mannion

Our lineage and connection with Taekwon-Do roots has enabled us to retain the original purpose of our art:  To cultivate wisdom, kindness, and courage throughout the world.  Each of our instructors takes the following oath at each promotion test.  We are grateful to the leaders of Taekwon-Do International for their foresight and commitment to traditional Taekwon-Do.
