Welcome to Salinas Tae Kwon Do Academy

Master Alejandro Mora My name is Alejandro Mora, President and head instructor of the Salinas Tae Kwon Do Academy (STKDA), and I want to welcome you to our discipline!

Tae Kwon Do, the Korean martial art which philosophy represents a way of life, and now officially considered as an Olympic Sport, translates into English as the Way (Do) of striking with the feet (Tae) and the hands (Kwon).

However, beyond the punches, blocks and kicks, it is a method of personal development and a way of improving your life, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In Tae Kwon Do we have people from all walks of life: including doctors, school-teachers, firefighters, police officers, and many other professions. It is an excellent way to stay in shape, to build confidence, and to learn self-defense. It offers also a great social environment where people get together to learn the fastest growing, and most integrated martial art in the world.
