TaeKwon-Do Core Competencies

TaeKwon-Do is a Korean martial art that began its formation shortly after WWII in Seoul, Korea. In 1945 a number of Kwans (or Gyms) began teaching hybrid martial arts that were influenced by all but lost indigenous Korean arts, as well as, Chinese and Japanese styles. It wasn’t until 1957 that these styles began to become known as TaeKwon-Do (foot, fist, way) at the urging of General Choi, Hong Hi (the father of TaeKwon-Do).

TaeKwon-Do initially formalized under the Korean TaeKwon-Do Association and in 1966 under the International TaeKwon-Do Federation. In the 1973 political issues split the art with creation of the World Taekwondo Federation (later know as simply World Taekwondo). Unlike many ‘sports’ TaeKwon-Do has its own ethical code of ethics that include both tenets and a student oath. TaeKwon-Do is the most widely practiced martial art in the world today.

At Omaha Blue Waves Martial Arts we teach traditional TaeKwon-Do, the same style which was originally formalized in 1957. We maintain affiliations with the United States Kido Federation, the International TaeKwon-Do Federation, the International Jung Tong TaeKwon-Do Federation, and the World TaeSool Federation.

      recommends I got picked on a lot in school. By sheer, dumb, luck... I happened onto these people. My parents had no idea what to look for, just that these guys were in the area doing martial arts and that martial arts are supposed to be good for building confidence, self-esteem, fitness... all that.

And it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Save yourself the trouble of shopping around. If you're in the area, go to Omaha Blue Waves.

Everyone is always willing to help you achieve your goals and encourage you along your journey. I started my black belt journey as a grown adult, and was met with encouragement and excitement by my teachers and classmates. They teach more than martial arts; they are helping me with my mission to raise respectful, responsible and courteous adults. I get to learn along side my kids and be the example I want to be to them.
