Introduction

Master Wachon started his martial arts journey in 1986 studying Tae Kwon-Do while cross training Shotokan Karate and Tang Soo Do, and he founded Evolution Martial Arts in 2001 utilizing those initial studies. The current curriculum is an evolving Tae Kwon-Do style that harmoniously blends elements from subsequent years of cross training other martial arts including Aikido, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, BJJ, and pressure points for comprehensive self-defense. Master Wachon brings 40 years experience teaching in a safe, fun, and friendly environment.

What are the Martial Arts?

The Martial Arts are ancient methods of combat and self-defense learned in a refined and disciplined manner and supported with a base of techniques and philosophies. A true Martial Artist will never promote violence even though they will have a key understanding of how to disable an attacker. The Martial arts transcend physical strength to encompass mental and spiritual growth becoming a way of life that also promotes peace and harmony.

Tae Kwon-Do is our base Martial Art

Tae Kwon-Do is a Korean Martial Art, meaning the "Foot and Hand Way". It is derived mainly from the two ancient arts of Tae-Kyon and Shotokan Karate.  It is used for self defence, sports competition, and as a way of life that helps individuals keep fit and builds strength of the body and mind for a lifetime.

Evolution Martial Arts: Tae Kwon-Do and Mixed Arts of Self-Defense

Our school lives up to it's name by continually taking steps toward the development of Tae Kwon-Do and learning of all aspects of Martial arts with an open minded attitude. We treat everybody, inside and out of Martial Arts, with equal respect regardless of age, grade, fitness level, or ability. We practice various aspects of self defence, ground defence, kickboxing, sparring, patterns, forms, destruction, gymnastic kicks & weapons training.

Evolution is in our name to refer to an individual evolution in mind or consciousness, body, and spirit, from a state of innocence of the Martial Arts progressing over time to one of increasing awareness that will never stop unfolding.

 

We recognise that all of us are students and we all continually put our trust in each other and our time and commitment into learning an empowering way of life. We know that everyone learns by making mistakes and that learning never stops.

The core values we promote are: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, indomitable spirit and modesty. Through these philosophies and a spirit of self defence only, we intend to equip our students with outstanding skills, awareness, confidence and competence to defend themselves and their loved ones if necessary.

 

We aim to continually improve student skills and well being, and to enhance our local communities step by step, one act, and one Black Belt at a time.
