Grappling
Ever wonder what it would be like to learn the techniques that you’ve seen on television. Now you can learn those fundamentals in a safe, non-threatening environment. It is the perfect complement to our intense stand-up kicking and punching Taekwondo core. Our GrapplingTiger-Rock Grappling combines powerful ground fighting and grappling moves such as chokeholds and joint locks to overpower an opponent. Tiger-Rock Grappling can be used for self-defense, for fitness, and as a sport. Grappling has been known to exist as far back as 15,000 years ago! From the Trojan War to the modern octagon, grappling has been found in cultures as diverse as the Native populations of the Americas to the royal families of the Middle Ages. Even Henry the VIII found time to grapple against rival King Francis I of France. The program is open to all active members (no age limit). The program blends the best grappling systems, including American wrestling, in a dynamic way to create a challenging ground program complimentary to our Taekwondo program and culture. |

"Our daughter joined Johnson's TKD about 4 months ago. She is 4 years old and simply loves it. We are the traditional sports family. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, track & field, but not TKD. My daughter's preschool classmate introduced us to this academy. It has been full steam ahead. She has developed and improved leadership skills, focus, and overall confidence needed to thrive within her school activities and personally. She interacts well all cultures which matches her school room setting and this alone makes her feel at home. The Johnsons welcomed us with open arms immediately upon meeting us. I cannot think of a better academy to attend. Other families and parents are certainly supportive. We will be here for a long time to come. Try it for yourself. I know once our son turns 4, he will participate at this academy as well.?"

"Johnson's Taekwondo of Cary provides the motivation to stay with an exercise program. It is a full body workout with a focus on safety to ensure it can be done long term. I started with Johnson's Tae kwon do 5 years ago at the age of 39 and am healthy and strong because of the ongoing draw that this type of exercise program can provide. It is more than exercise for the body, because here they teach exercise for the mind and we are challenged to do more for ourselves, our families and our communities. My two children also take TKD through this academy and have become solid contributing citizens and leaders. I attribute their success to the physical and educational lessons they received at this school.?"

"I am proud to say that my son goes to Johnson's TaeKwonDo Academy. The owners make sure that they know each child and parent on sight. They are friendly and always willing to discuss your child's progress and performance. They do amazing work in the community and foster a sense of community service and dedication in all the students. They have participated in St. Baldrick's Cancer Fundraising and Habitat for Humanity. It is more important to be a part of the community and help others than your rank. The Johnsons are dedicated to improving their students not only in TaeKwonDo but also in life skills. They make sure that their students get an Intent to Promote signed by their school teacher and parents. This ensures that the students are well rounded and respectful in all aspects of their lives. I'm so glad that we were recommended to Johnson's TaeKwonDo Academy!!"

"My son has attended lessons at Johnson's Taekwondo since last March (about 8 months). He is six years old. I am pleased to say that he has improved his ability to focus as well as his understanding of being respectful and being a good listener. He is excited to attend lessons and he just attended his first tournament. I am thrilled with his enthusiasm and everything he has learned. Bryson and Melissa Johnson are very easy to work with. They have the students' best interests at heart in terms of helping the students learn Taekwondo and encouraging them to think about how all of their lessons can be applied in everything they do in life. It has truly been an outstanding experience for my son (and everyone else involved).?"

"Johnson's Taekwondo Academy is not only a 5-star Taekwondo facility, but also a 5-star Leadership academy. Through the leadership skills I acquired through Taekwondo, I established an SAT Math Program to raise money for St. Baldrick's foundation. Encompassing all the necessary topics for the SAT and a few tricks I used in my 7th grade SAT, the SAT course is a great way to not only improve math skills, but also help St. Baldrick's Foundation.?"
