Welcome to Almeda's Tae Kwon Do Institute of Self Defense. Almtkd aims at providing New York City with one of the most traditional and true form of Tae Kwon Do to date- Ji Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do. Grand Master Jo Almeda, an 8th degree blackbelt, has been teaching this art for over fifty years, and has a unique experience and skills rarely found in many martial arts instructors today. Studying in Japan, Korea, and the United States Jo Almeda has refined the art of Karate and Tae Kwon Do into a regiment that builds off the traditions and techniques of the past while simultaneously being adaptable for modern day use.
Our goal as an institution is to foster and develop several characteristics in our students, these being mental, spiritual, and physical strength, as well as control and discipline. Tae Kwon Do should be treated as an art but handled as carefully as a bladed weapon, misused can have lethal repercussions, thus we consider it our duty to guide our students to used this art to create an alternative mindframe to the hussle and bussle of everyday life, building confidence and discipline. Moreover, students work to keep healthy, and enjoy themselves, while learning how to defend against any would be attackers. Therefore, the benefits of our training is threefold- first, it can be an exciting competitive sport for the student who wants to achieve physical fitness. Second, training at the institute helps the student to develop self-confidence and achieve mental and physical balance. Lastly, the student learns one of the most effective forms of self-defense and gradually develops the discipline necessary to remain level-headed if confronted with a dangerous situation. Lastly, Almtkd seeks to instill in all our students principles that help children grow into respectable adults, and adults into better parents, workers, friends, and family.
The Bronx Institute of Self Defense is one of the only schools in New York to offer a traditional hardwood floor, a regiment that is both strict and flexible, and an atmosphere that can only be found in our style's homeland of Korea.
