Our students have competed in many events both locally and world-wide including Ottawa, Toronto & South Korea. Our annual Warriors Cup at Garrison Petawawa hosted over 160 athletes a year. We hope you come and try the Art of Taekwon-Do at one of our classes.
Challenge your fears by channelling your inner Warrior in the Discipline of “Sparring” or Fighting.
Board Breaking and Special Techniques are some of the most exciting components of Taekwon-Do.
It goes without saying that 1 hour of Taekwon-Do can be physically demanding.
Patterns are the true heart and soul part of the International Taekwon-Do Federation and most Martial Arts.
The students of the Ottawa Valley Taekwon-Do School are well known by Masters, instructors and other schools for the way they conduct themselves.
Could you imagine receiving a Black Belt at the same time as your son and/or daughter? It’s an achievement possible for those who are dedicated.
Class schedule subject to change. Please note: Little Dragon Program is full for season 2019/2020
STEVE NORDINI CAME TO OVTKD AFTER A FRIEND SUGGESTED WE TRY IT OUT FOR ONE OF THE GIRLS WE WERE TAKING CARE OF. SHE BLOSSOMED IMMEDIATELY AND TOOK TO THE SPORT AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE FAMILY ORIENTED & CARING INSTRUCTORS AND MEMBERS. NOW I HAVE TWO GIRLS, MY 16 YEAR OLD SON AND MYSELF STUDYING THIS TRADITIONAL ART. I AM TRULY BLESSED TO BE A PART OF THE OVTKD FAMILY!
JEFF DONALDSON10469 KM AWAY FROM HOME, MR. FLEURANT TRAINED DOZENS OF SOLDIERS FROM MULTIPLE NATIONS IN THE WAYS AND TRADITIONS OF ITF. HE BROUGHT CALM TO A CHAOTIC PLACE AND WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT AND A COMPASSIONATE TEACHER.
TRAINED IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN DURING 2012 CANADIAN MISSION TOUR
JODIE WATSONOUR 6 YEAR OLD SON HAS SOME BEHAVIOURAL DIFFICULTIES AND DIDN'T DO WELL WITH TEAM SPORTS. WE WERE WORRIED HIS INVOLVEMENT IN SPORTS WOULD BE LIMITED, UNTIL WE MET THE KIND TEACHERS AT OVTKD. I HAVE NEVER MET SUCH A KIND AND CARING GROUP OF INSTRUCTORS. THEIR WORK HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN IMPROVING OUR SON'S SELF-ESTEEM, IMPULSIVITY AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS. THANK YOU OVTKD!
LUCY GAGNONAS A BLACK BELT FROM OTTAWA, I WORKED AND TRAINED WITH MR FLEURANT A FEW YEARS AGO AND I SOMETIMES TRAVEL TO PEMBROKE TO REKINDLE OUR FRIENDSHIP. TAEKWON DO ALLOWS US TO BE FIT BUT IT ALSO GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET GREAT PEOPLE LIKE MR. FLEURANT AND MRS DEMONG. THEY MANAGE AND OPERATE A FAMILY ORIENTED CLUB WHERE EVEN US STRANGERS ARE WELCOMED. YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH A DEDICATED COUPLE GUIDING YOU THROUGH YOUR TAEKWON DO JOURNEY! I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
GAIL PERRYDEAR MR. FLEURANT, I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR CLASSES. YOUR MEMBERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I WATCHED MR BELLERIVE, II DAN (16 YEAR OLD) TEACHING A GROUP, I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW HE TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE MOVES AND HIS PATIENCE. ALSO, MME FLEURANT, II DAN (16 YEARS OLD) WHO HAD AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF PATIENCE ASSISTING MY GRANDSON. EVERY TIME I ATTEND I AM AMAZED AT WHAT I SEE. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL GROUP OF MEMBERS. GAIL PERRY (EMAIL TO MR FLEURANT)
NICOLE RUDDYTAEKWON-DO HAS HELPED TRINITY BUILD CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM. TRINITY THRIVES ON A ROUTINE AND THE CLASSES PROVIDE THAT FOR HER. SHE LOVES TO BE CHALLENGED AND SHE LOVES TO TRY AND CONQUER IT. TRINITY REALLY ENJOYS GOING TO CLASS AND INTERACTING WITH HER CLASSMATES. SHE ENJOYS SEEING WHAT THEY CAN DO AND TRY TO DO AS WELL AS THEM. TRINITY ALSO ENJOYS THE COMPETITION SIDE OF TAEKWON-DO AND FEELS VERY GOOD ABOUT HERSELF WHEN SHE TAKES HOME A MEDAL. AS A PARENT THIS MAKES ME VERY PROUD TO SEE HER GROW AND DEVELOP AND MATURE.
SANDY BUCHOLTZMY SON CJ ATTENDED HIS FIRST TAEKWON-DO CLASS IN 2009 WHEN HE WAS 7 YEARS OLD. HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE IN SCHOOL WITH BULLYING AND WE HOPED SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES WOULD HELP BUILD HIS CONFIDENCE. CJ WAS HOOKED FROM THE START, AND SO WAS I. HE LOVED LEARNING NEW TECHNIQUES THAT PUSHED HIS BODY TO DO MORE THAN HE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. I LOVED THE DISCIPLINE TAEKWON-DO INSTILLED IN HIM, NOT ONLY IN THE DOJAN BUT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. WHAT MAKES THIS SCHOOL SO EXTRAORDINARY IS MORE THAN THE PRACTICE AND THE DISCIPLINE; THE OTTAWA VALLEY TAEKWON-DO SCHOOL HAD QUICKLY BECOME A SECOND FAMILY TO US. TWO YEARS INTO HIS SPORT, CJ WAS DIAGNOSED WITH JUVENILE ARTHRITIS (JA). HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERY ACTIVITY AT EVERY CLASS. SOME DAYS WERE GOOD AND OTHER DAYS WERE VERY TRYING FOR HIM. MASTER DEMERS, MR. FLEURANT AND MME DEMONG RECOGNIZED WHEN HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE AND THEY WERE SO GOOD TO HAVE HIM TAKE ON THE ROLE OF TIME KEEPER OR PROVIDE VERBAL DIRECTION FOR HIS FELLOW ATHLETES. INSTEAD OF SINGLING HIM OUT OR HAVING HIM SIT ON THE SIDELINES, THEY WERE QUICK TO GIVE HIM RESPONSIBILITIES THAT INSTILLED LEADERSHIP. THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING FOR CJ TO DO WHICH GOT HIM THROUGH HIS TOUGHER DAYS. IN 2015, CJ EARNED HIS BLACK BELT. HE NO LONGER STRUGGLES WITH JA AND WE BELIEVE IT’S IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE FACT THAT THROUGHOUT HIS JOURNEY HE WAS ABLE TO STAY SO POSITIVE AND ACTIVE. MASTER DEMERS, MR. FLEURANT AND MME DEMONG HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE MENTORS TO CJ AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR OUR CONNECTION WITH THE OTTAWA VALLEY TAEKWON-DO SCHOOL.
On 30 April 2016, the Ottawa Valley Taekwon-Do School, along with Master Michel Demers, as the Master of ceremony, held the Warriors Cup 2016. Over 185 athletes of all ages …
