Hyper Pro is a relatively new sport which combines Taekwondo, gymnastics, and acrobatics. The results are amazing to watch. The Asian Arts Center has been offering Hyper Pro classes for several months and it has resulted in great excitement amongst our instructors and students!

Hyper Pro works to increase flexibility and agility. Our students have been working on handstands, cartwheels, and kicks that are different from those generally found in Taekwondo. It is often choreographed between several students, creating a performance like no other. In our standard Taekwondo classes, the children do their forms and the only sounds are their responses to the instructors, or their words used while kicking or punching. In Hyper Pro, however, music is used in class to allow our students to get even more pumped up. The energy is palpable!

The Hyper Pro organization lists that its “mission is to recognize the incredible athletes that train in the martial arts, compete and do tricks. We respect tradition and embrace the people who are constantly evolving, improving and creating new techniques.” http://hypermartialarts.com/about/ One of the joys of the program is that it reinforces our belief that the discipline of Taekwondo is not just something that is adhered to within the Asian Arts Center Taekwondo Schools. Rather, it is something that the students carry with them and use in their everyday lives.
