Kinderhook Martial Arts and Fitness Center began as a way of bringing the ideals and philosophies of the martial arts to the various communities of Columbia County. Our goal is to enhance the lives of our students through the development and reinforcement of the qualities of inner strength, patriotism, sense of justice, and leadership through physical fitness and mental excellence. We see the martial arts as a way of life, promoting self-control and self-discipline, respect for self and others, dedication, modesty, humility, generosity, courage, and sense of order. We are a community-based organization, promoting a family environment along with family values, and one that is dedicated to the excellence of our students. We feel that the lessons learned from the practice of the martial arts will have a long-lasting effect on our students' lives.
Kinderhook Martial Arts and Fitness Center offers varying types of martial art disciplines. We primarily teach Tae Kwon Do and Defensive Hapkido, though elements of Kenpo Karate, Jujutsu, Judo, and other forms of martial arts are injected. We feel that a student should not limit themselves, and should be curious of other forms of martial arts, incorporating elements of those disciplines that the student feels comfortable with into their regimen. We are dedicated to and encourage the expansion of one’s knowledge.
