Western Taekwon-Do Academies was founded in 1994 by Master Alfredo Hernandez and has been home to more than 35 world and international champions, as well as a leader in the martial art education of Taekwon-do in Cabo Rojo, PR for 24 years, serving to children from pre-school age to adults. Our new goal is to expand our services in the city of Clarksville, TN and provide service to our region. In it, the values that strengthen families are fostered, such as respect, trust, honesty, loyalty and cooperation, which has been a hallmark of our academy. We offer a quality education and a service with a vision towards the general state of health and wellbeing of each participant; considering sports programs and encouraging healthy children, families and strong communities by placing a priority on family participation, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation in building a winning team, as well as individual development, a positive self-image, a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others. In addition, it seeks to create an active and enriched environment in which children learn and practice the fundamental values of care, honesty, respect and responsibility.
The kicking against drugs and alcohol program was created in 2005 by Mr. Alfredo Hernández, as an extension of the Western Taekwon-Do Academies, and it was proposed to enter public housing and elementary and intermediate schools, with the objective of offering our youth educational, recreational and sports programs where they can have fun and be entertained while learning discipline, working as a team, managing their anxieties, correcting their hyperactivity while improving their locomotor system; in short, a sport where the young person and / or child can develop their potential in a positive way, without drugs or alcohol, serving as an example to other young people in their community.
Our organization has as main focus children and young people between 3 to 17 years, since we believe that it is in this development process that the child is infused the fundamental values that later as an adult will show in the community. We try to instill during this process of development, some elemental but essential values to live in a community of harmony (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and spirit of humility). Be part of the healthy development of children and adolescents; strengthen families, and make their community a better, healthier, and safer place to live without drugs and alcohol.

Our martial arts program helps to control excess energy, channeling aggressiveness and increasing self-confidence, learning to face conflicts according to age, with serenity and it is also a good way to bring it closer to the need to discipline it.The favorable age to begin this discipline is at 3 years of age, (the stage of sizing) is when children have the ability to understand and follow instructions that transform a verbal language into physical movement, with basic command in the extremes of their body, taking into account any physical impairment diagnosed by your doctor.
