CCL Tae Kwon Do is an "exclusive" traditional style martial arts school located in Danbury, CT. Our lessons are based on different types of curriculum, which are designed to fit the proper level of each student, based on rank and ability. We have classes for children and adults. Our students are very active, motivated, competitive, and have great respect for the world around them.
At CCL Taekwondo, our school is limited so we can devote more attention to each student's individual education. Once we've reach the amount of students the school can take, all others will be put on a waiting list. We focus on quality NOT quantity, we make sure our students leave the school with more knowledge and look forward to the next class. We participate in tournaments in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Tournaments are not mandatory or a must in our school. Students who like to compete will have special training for preparation. We do not expect to win medals or trophies, but to gain the knowledge and learn from other students.
Our students are ranked internationally and participate in intensive seminars, which are hosted by Grandmasters and Masters throughout the tri-state area. These seminars are high level training, which helps to build and improve techniques, skills, timing, aiming, and most of all more knowledge and experience. We reward our students in the Academic Achievement program when they do well in school. We have pool parties in the summer and Halloween and Christmas parties at CCL Tae Kwon Do for all members.
CCL Tae Kwon Do participates in tournament hosted by Master Mark Williams of Williams Tae Kwon Do, Grandmaster Lee of United Tae Kwon Do, Master Waleed Yousef of Yousef Tae Kwon Do, Master Wayne DeRosa of Chung Ma's Tae Kwon Do, & Master Turgeon of CT. Chung Duk Kwan.
