Thank you to South Shore Tae Kwon Do for sponsoring our 2020 South Shore Halloween Fun Guide!
Since 2007, South Shore Tae Kwon Do has been providing instruction in Tae Kwon Do and the martial arts in the Rockland, MA area. Classes for children, teens, and adults are designed to not only teach the physical aspects of Tae Kwon Do, but the mental ones as well. Students from age 4 through adult learn self-control, discipline, respect, and self-defense as a part of the school's program. Taekwondo offers a systematic method of student development and progress measured by colored belts. South Shore Tae Kwon Do's instructors will guide the willing student through the intense training required to achieve the rank of "black belt." Classes are offered in the evenings many nights a week.
