About Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo

Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo came under the instruction of Michael Catron in the summer of 1995. Mr. Catron’s vision of teaching a comprehensive blend of traditional Taekwondo forms and discipline while including instruction in techniques from other styles and adapting instruction to meet the needs of each individual student has driven the direction of the dojang ever since. Mr. Catron’s background in diverse martial arts, asian culture and history, and emphasis on power, balance, and flexibility partnered with Ms. (Catron) Strom’s experience in cardio-vascular conditioning, exercise science, and nutrition and wellness provides a well-rounded research and experience-based curriculum.

The brother-sister duo believe that martial arts is for everyone and have taught students as young as seven and as old as 67 including liver transplant recipients, mothers of seven, cross-country athletes, and state-champion wrestlers. Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo is a small school with small classes increasing the personalized and individualized instruction available to each student. While Mr. Catron and Ms. Strom teach “traditional” taekwondo, each student also receives instruction personalized to his or her desires.

Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo will prepare students for Olympic-style tournament sparring, Kickboxing, Modern (Mixed) Martial Arts, and real-life self-defense situations, and will work with students on areas of their particular interest. Further, Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo classes blend strength training, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, flexibility and stretching exercises, coordination drills, and meditative periods to provide a complete workout for persons looking for an alternative to the gym or fitness center.

Further, Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo offers weapon instruction to intermediate and advanced taekwondo students for individuals interested in bo staff, sword, short staff, and tonfa.

Mr. Catron and Ms. Strom have a combined 35 years of martial arts experience and a desire to share their experience and expertise with you in a personalized, inexpensive environment. All interested students receive a free-trial period and the school bills on a monthly basis; no contracts. Rates start as low as 45 dollars a month and Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo offers student discounts and family rates.

Recently, Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo has partnered with Shin Koo Hapkido and the two schools offer mixed classes in sparring, weapons training, and self-defense and ground-fighting at no extra cost.
