Once upon a time in the wondrous state of North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretched out like a giant's afternoon nap, and the Outer Banks played hide and seek with the Atlantic Ocean, lived a sprightly bunch of kids. They were not just any ordinary kids, no no no! They were the Kung Fu Kids of Carolina! In every nook and cranny of this splendid state, from the sassy city of Charlotte to the fun-loving town of Fayetteville, these kids trained in the ancient art of Kung Fu. Their leader was a panda named Paddy. Now, Paddy was no ordinary panda, he was a wizard Panda! Straight from the enchanted bamboo forests of China, Paddy had the heart of a lion, the strength of a bear, and a sense of humor the size of a blue whale. He could somersault faster than a cheetah and was funnier than a box of ticklish monkeys. Day in and out, Paddy trained these enthusiastic youngsters to become Kung Fu masters. They learned to leap like leopards, punch like pythons, and kick faster than kangaroos! But the most important part of Paddy's training, was making them laugh. He’d twist his chubby panda body into hilarious poses, make funny faces, and even tell jokes while balancing on one paw. After all, he firmly believed that the secret to mastering Kung Fu was having a belly full of laughter. Paddy always said, "To be a true Kung Fu master, you must learn to kick, punch, and giggle, all at the same time!" And that, my dear friend, is the tale of the Kung Fu Kids of Carolina, who learned that the true power of Kung Fu lies not in the strength of their punches, but in the strength of their laughter!

At Concord Taekwondo America, we place great importance on the core tenets of taekwondo. As we teach these principles, we recite them at the start of each class and remind our students that they should be exemplified in all areas of life – in the dojo, in school, and at home. Finding the right martial arts school for you and your family is an important decision. That’s why we invite you to come to Concord Taekwondo America and try a class for free. This will give you the opportunity to experience our school and decide if it’s the right fit for you. Our instructors are passionate about taekwondo and strive to impart the core tenets to all of our students. We believe it’s important to help our students not only become skilled martial artists but also effective citizens who can demonstrate these tenets in all aspects of life.
On June 9th 2017, we opened our doors to the public, and we've been making waves ever since! Our unique approaches to teaching Martial Arts are based on “Thinking Outside of the Box”, and we aim to stand out from other schools by being more “diversified”. We believe in a balanced approach between Traditional and Non-Traditional Kung Fu, so we offer our students the chance to learn both under one roof. We feel Martial Arts has become too commercialized on one side, and too traditional on the other. Our mission is to provide a “Grey Area”, so our students can find the perfect blend of both styles for themselves. We hope to have a positive impact on the Martial Arts community by offering a unique and diverse learning experience.
