Beyond Sports Taekwondo

Welcome to Beyond Sports Taekwondo! We are located in Lindon, Utah, but have students from all over Utah County, including Orem, Provo, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Saratoga Springs, and Highland. Whether you are new to the martial arts or if you have been studying for years, Beyond Sports will feel like home! Prior to opening this studio in 2002, I worked with children for 15 years, as both a teacher and in social services. While both of those professions were fulfilling, I came to a point where I realized I wanted to reach children early—before they had to make hard, life-determining decisions—and give them the tools they need in order to be successful making those decisions. These skills range from the ability to communicate clearly, to having the self-confidence to stand against the crowd. I did not start Taekwondo until late in life, but when I did, I realized it was the perfect medium for teaching these skills. If it could boost my confidence as a grown woman, what would it do for youth and teens struggling with creating their identity? Or, for that matter, other adults whose lives could be enriched by this knowledge? So, while the children love to do Taekwondo because they can kick and yell, we know it is much more than that. We do Taekwondo because we are learning life skills along the way that will help individuals grow into confident, responsible people who will be our leaders in years to come.
