Welcome to the official website of Ott's Taekwon-Do, providing lessons in the art of Chang Hun Taekwon-Do to the Philadelphia community since 1996.

We have many different classes to fit even the busiest schedules. From our beginners class to our intermediate level courses, right through to our Black Belt course, we have something for everyone.

Studies have shown that children in Taekwon-Do do have an increased sense of responsibility, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks and higher sense of self-esteem. Many doctors have prescribed Taekwon-Do because of the positive outlet it gives children for all of their energy. At Ott's Taekwon-Do we promote good behavior and we expect the same at home and in school. For adults Taekwon-Do is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape. Taekwon-Do is well known for it's stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard health club type exercise programs.

Ott's Taekwon-Do takes pride in the development of a courteous and spirited training enviroment. What we teach is not a sport, but a method of using the mind, body and spirit to better ourselves in our training as well as daily life. Our training enviroment is non-competitive, with each student working not only to improve him or herself, but to help the other students to improve as well. We hope that our traditional training methods will help to develop practical self-defense skills, all around physical fitness and positive character traits in all our students.
