Master Choi's School of Tae Kwon Do, the very first TaeKwonDo School in the State of Indiana was established in 1971 by Grandmaster Min Hae Choi. Over the years the school has taught many aspiring martial arts students the forms and techniques of the ancient Korean martial art - Tae Kwon Do.
Students learn the fundamentals of tae kwon do through choreographed sequences of combative moves, the breaking of boards or other materials, and two-person controlled sparring.
They also receive instruction in principles such as courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and self-control. Practitioners wear a white, loose-fitting uniform known as a dobok, tied at the waist with a colored belt that indicates rank.
The ranking system is divided into ten kup (pupil) levels and nine dan (black belt, or expert) levels.
At competitions, participants are judged by how well they perform the choreographed sequences, by their accuracy in breaking boards, and by their skill in sparring contests.
