COMPANY INFO

Adults and children, training in CKD Martial Arts, focus on achieving optimum health and wellness by training at a moderate level of intensity in classes, rather than training at a high intensity for a competition. CKD Adult and Kids martial arts classes in Kennesaw are taught in a friendly, family-orientated atmosphere, and in a fun and easy to learn manner. The development of character and mental strength based on CKD’s principles is considered the most important overall goal in CKD training along with the attainment of proper techniques. Choi Kwang Do is also renowned for its practicality as a self-defense system and the techniques learned could save your life.

CKD Martial Arts was developed by Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi between 1978 and 1987 and has proved to be the most effective martial arts system in the world. CKD Martial Art’s natural, easy-to-learn, sequential movements maximize your body’s force-producing capabilities, but more importantly, they increase opportunities to enhance your health. It’s a unique program based on modern scientific principles from human anatomy, physiology (the branch of the biological sciences dealing with the functioning of organisms), psychology (the science of mental life), kinesiology (the branch of physiology that studies mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement), neurophysiology (the branch of neuroscience that studies the physiology of the nervous system) and biomechanics (human movement science).

CKD Martial Arts in Kennesaw and its schools around the world are founded in nonviolent self-defense, health, character development and humanity. We want to help each other and anyone else who needs our assistance. Students recite our doctrines and a pledge at the beginning of every adult and children’s class, and living by the Choi Kwang Do principles at all times is considered to be of utmost im¬portance.

Our school motto, Pil Seung, translates as “certain victory,” but not in an aggressive manner, and not always in respect to outside forces. It means we never give in unless it’s the right thing to do. We never give up until we achieve victory, and we never allow our spirit to break. The Pil Seung attitude allows us to overcome any obstacle to achieve our goals.

Choi Kwang Do Martial Art International ℠ (CKDMAI) is an international supportive family system whose primary principle is to affirm each other in our common goal: to live a more productive, healthier, longer life. We want to create compassionate Choi Kwang Do families of individuals around the world and bring those families closer to other Choi Kwang Do families. Because of this goal, once an individual becomes a student at one CKD Martial Arts school, they can train at any other CKD Martial Arts school in the world. And we welcome and encourage all of our students to attend our Choi Kwang Do national and international seminars and festivals.
