Historic Taekwondo Academy Kicks out chemicals for green cleaning technology

See how World Taekwondo Academy incorporates safe, sustainable cleaning technology to protect their athletes and their Dojang

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art, characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques with kicks and striking being above waist height only. But, ‘World Taekwondo Academy’ is about teaching much more than technique.

Taekwondo Academy has produced thousands of champions, not just in sport but in life.

“We have a very high reputation,” says Grandmaster Lee. “We have a lot of great coaches, instructors and athletes here, so our reputation and what we do with the integrity of our program is very important.”

Adds Lee, “We knew it was going to be effective for us as a business but more importantly for the safety of all the families ... keeping the integrity was very important, and we truly believe in what we’re doing with it, and I wouldn’t use it; I wouldn’t promote it; I wouldn’t be talking about it if I didn’t believe in it.”
