Taekwondo - The way of the hand and foot.
Walker's opened in August 2000 and is owned and operated by Master Mike Kadrovach. Mike is a Kukkiwon 4th Dan black belt. He began studying Taekwondo at the age of 25, and has been studying and practicing in the Portage area for over 18 years. Mike's passion for Taekwondo is readily apparent to all of his students. Mike's goals for his students are: (1) to be better than himself and (2) to strengthen their spirits with the "I can" way of thinking. "I can't" at Walker's, are replaced by "I'll try."
At Walker's, the Ji Do Kwon form of Taekwondo is taught. Ji Do Kwon is one of the major Taekwondo associations, which is sanctioned by the World Taekwondo Association (WTA) at the Kukkiwon in Korea.
Practitioners of Ji Do Kwon are encouraged to live the philosophy upon which the art is built; to spread throughout the continents of the world the spirit of Ji Do Kwon. The spirit of Ji Do Kwon is getting up eight times when you have fallen seven times, standing upright in the face of all tribulations, and never giving in to failure.
