adult martial arts
Training in a martial art is demanding of body, mind, and spirit. Knowing you have the ability to prevail and succeed in a strenuous and difficult activity can give you the emotional strength to accept other challenges in your life.
At Lyndell Institute, we treat each person as an individual first, but also as part of one big family, sharing these challenges together.
yoga and fitness classes
Classes designed to accommodate all fitness and skill levels—from beginner to advanced. Excellent for those looking for a serious, yet fun and friendly, cardio and toning workout.
Pay only for those classes you attend! Attend when you want, as often as you want, whatever class you want! Cross-train…mix it up…avoid exercise boredom!

Curious about the difference between Tae Kwon Do, Martial Arts, and Karate?
Martial Arts
Karate
Tae Kwon Do
The term martial arts comes from Latin and refers to Mars, the Roman god of war. Therefore, many people think that martial arts must be all about fighting and self defense. That is true, but it is a limited view of the practice. In today’s world, the martial arts provide not only self defense practice but also health, physical fitness, stress relief, and mindfulness for all ages, male and female. Karate and Tae Kwon Do are two styles of martial arts.
Karate as a martial art originated in Japan and is known as a striking art, using punches, strikes, and kicks. Karate translates to mean “empty hand”. Shotokan Karate, one of the styles of karate, is a traditional martial art founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi. He believed that “The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of the participant.”
Tae Kwon Do originated in Korea. The style we practice at Lyndell Institute is called Chung Do Kwan, founded by Won Kuk Lee, considered the Father of Tae Kwon Do. Translated into English, Chung Do Kwan means “the school of theblue wave”, so named for the dichotomy of the destructive power and the gentleness of water. Master Lee trained in karate with Master Funakoshi in Japan beginning in the 1920’s. He returned to Korea following the Japanese occupation.
