Our story

Woodbridge Taekwon-Do: Serving Vaughan Since 1982

A structured dojang environment with experienced instructors, clear progression and a welcoming community — from preschoolers and first-time students to teens, adults and experienced martial artists.

Serving Woodbridge and Vaughan since 1982

Woodbridge Taekwon-Do Inc. was founded in 1982 by Grand Master Cariati with a small group of students. The club has taught Taekwon-Do in Woodbridge and Vaughan for decades and now offers programs for a wide range of ages and goals.

Training takes place at Toronto District Christian High School (TDChristian), 377 Woodbridge Avenue, Woodbridge, ON L4L 2V7. Classes emphasize the five tenets of Taekwon-Do — courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit — alongside practical fitness and self-defence skills.
