About Bae's Martial Arts Centre

You can train as many as 7 days a week by selecting one of our packages. 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. BAE’S Martial Arts, with a foundation in Tae Kwon Do, focuses on fitness, discipline, respect for others, and dedication in training to be the best you can be. Students are taught self-defence, fighting in anger is forbidden. A child with martial arts skills is more likely to get themselves out of difficult situations.

The earliest records of Martial Arts practice in Korea date back to about 50 B.C. These earliest forms of Korean martial arts are known as ‘Taek Kyon’. Evidence that Martial Arts were being practiced at that time can be found in tombs where wall-paintings show two men in fighting-stance. 1957, the name Tae Kwon Do was adopted by several Korean martial arts masters, for its similarity to the name Tae Kyon. General Choi Hong-hi required the army to train Tae Kwon Do, so the very first Tae Kwon Do students were Korean soldiers. The police and air force had to learn Tae Kwon Do as well. At that time, Tae Kwon Do was merely a Korean version of Shotokan Karate. General Choi Hong-hi left for America and established I.T.F. (International Tae Kwon Do Federation) Demonstrations were given all over the world. It took a while before real progress was made, but eventually, in 1973, the World Tae Kwon Do Federation (W.T.F.) was founded. In 1980, W.T.F. Tae Kwon Do was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) and became a demonstration sport at the Olympics in 1988. In the year 2000 Tae Kwon Do made its debut as an official Olympic sport.

BAE’S Martial Arts was started in 1985 by Grand Master Young Q Bae.

Over its existence BAE’S has devolved 4 masters and over 50 + Black Belts ranging in degrees, with over 400 students and over 15 original members still training today. We believe in building life skills and base our training on quality. At BAE’S Martial Arts we still abide by the strict regiment and curriculum of World Tae Kwon Do Federation. BAE’S throughout its’ years has been able to incorporate the training methods of Kick Boxing, Karate, Jujitsu Su, Judo and many other martial arts in winnipeg for kids and adults. Although we are registered with and train in WTF Tae Kwon Do, we have students (kids and adults) who compete in all levels and at all caliber of competitions.

We are recognized by NSKA (National Sport Karate Association); (WKA World Karate Association) (WKC World Karate Council) Accomplishments – World Champions – Nationals. We provide men, women and kids in Winnipeg and surrounding areas the opportunity to realize that, It is not enough to be good if you have the ability to be better; mentally, physically & spiritually. Our Martial arts winnipeg program gives kids of all ages an opportunity to take part in martial arts training that will develop physical strength, flexibility and agility while teaching a philosophy of respect and discipline. The experience is enhanced by having the opportunity to work with established world class athletes in the sport.

As in all Martial Arts for kids, ethics are of great importance. One can look at individual ethics, treat a fellow-man right, or one can look at social ethics, as part of a whole. Ethics basically comes down to one point, the difference between ‘good’ and ‘evil’. We practice Tae Kwon Do, often seen as an aggressive sport, but does this mean that we can be aggressive? Do we want to be aggressive? The answer is NO!

We wear protection, because we don’t want someone else to be injured, nor do we want to get hurt ourselves. Tae Kwon Do is not a destructive and aggressive sport, but a sportive one. As I see it, taking part in a competition is not to hurt your opponent, but to test your strength, in both physical and mental ways.

Tae Kwon Do / Martial arts for kids will improve themselves physically and mentally by training. The final goal is to achieve harmony with nature and oneself. Balance is gained by controlling both evil and good forces (Yin vs. Yang): A true Tae Kwon Do student knows how to behave in all situations.

In my opinion, Taekwondo (and I guess this goes for every Martial Art for kids) is not only a way to improve skills of self defense, but it’s a way of life. Practicing Tae Kwon Do gives kids more self-confidence, but this should not result in a false sense of superiority. BAE'S Martial arts Winnipeg is a leader training Martial arts for kids for decades.
