Competiton Program at Jhoon Rhee Arlington


Weapons Program
Traditionally, the Korean Art of Tae Kwon Do does not typically implement the use of Martial Arts weapons. However, Jhoon Rhee Arlington employs instructors that have years of experience in various weapons. Therefore, students have the opportunity to expand their Martial Arts experience beyond the standard Jhoon Rhee curriculum. We offer weapons training separate from our regular class schedule by providing 5 to 8 week sessions of training with various weapons on a "rolling" basis. These weapons include Bo Staff, Kama, Nunchuks, Escrima, etc.

Competition Program
Some students wish to compete at a higher level than our yearly intramural tournaments. Competition may be in weapons, forms or fighting divisions. Along with specific weapons training as noted above, we offer specialized competition classes. These classes are designed to prepare students to compete at "open" martial arts tournaments.

Students can expect to learn new competition forms, or adapt existing forms/weapons forms for tournament competition. In addition, students who wish to spar in tournaments will learn how to better prepare themselves for "point sparring" competitions.

Whether it be specific weapons training, or competition preparation training, these sessions are held at various times throughout the year. Typically these classes are one hour classes held weekly (on Friday or Saturdays) for 5-8 week sessions. Please check the box to the right for information on our next program.
