What Makes NPTHC Different
-
The Instructors don't get paid for teaching classes.
-
The club is run as a non-profit and we rent a hall, its not as pretty as a purpose"dojo", but we believe what is taught is more important.
-
We emphasize quality of students and technique, not quantity of students and turnover.
-
We don't have lots of mass produced Black Belts.
-
Our lineage and traditional teaching is important to us.
-
Traditional Taekwondo and Hapkido values are also important to us.
-
We train primarily for Self-defence, we are not a competition club; but the quality of our teaching allows students to succeed when they do enter competitions.
