What You'll Get
Like tightrope-walking, martial arts involve fancy footwork, intense concentration, and drop-kicking runaway circus clowns from above. Learn self-defense from ground level with today’s Groupon: for $39, you get a one-month membership with unlimited classes and a uniform at Harlem Tae Kwon Do (a $135 value), located on West 116th Street.
Master Malick C. Fall and his lightning-quick battalion of martial arts masters and instructors teach both Harlem youth and adults how to maintain discipline and focus through the millennia-old martial art of tae kwon do. Perfect the aerial execution of flying and spinning kicks in the demo class (for students already familiar with tae kwon do) or spar against your fellow fist-and-foot soldier pupils. With the forms class, pupils learn predetermined attack and defense movements against imaginary opponents, ideal for taking down that trench coat-wearing unicorn that’s been following you home. Harlem Tae Kwon Do boasts a homework room with a computer, allowing students to hit the books before they hit each other. Aspiring martial-arts gurus can check out the full class schedule online.
Reviews
Uptown Mom liked the variety of classes at Harlem Tae Kwon Do and five Citysearchers give it a perfect five-star average:
- just a wonderful combination of exercise, focus, discipline, and of course punching, kicking and yelling. – Uptown Mom
- I leave each class feeling like I learned more about the values of TKD, that I had a moderate to hard workout, that I improved my skills, and that I had great time. – tamarindtree, Citysearch
