We have often wondered what it means to have a Tae Kwon Do Dojang (school). When searching for such a thought, the first thing to know about the Dojang is it's your home. It is special place where you share your time and thoughts with others as a family. A family founded on respect and mutual friendship. The Dojang is far more than a place of physical conditioning, mental training and philosophical study. It has to do with the development of the Tae Kwon Do spirit, which carries over into all aspects of a student's life.
