Chamber Welcomes Sandpoint Taekwondo


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes Sandpoint Taekwondo to the Chamber. Sandpoint Taekwondo and Sandpoint Martial Arts offer traditional Taekwondo classes to children & adults as well as additional forms of Martial Arts. They believe the quality of one's life can be greatly improved by developing a more healthy body, a focused mind and the confidence gained through training.

“We have a high focus on character development. Our children's classes especially, have character skills like courtesy, respect and self-discipline interwoven into the daily lessons," states owner Mike Szotkowski.

Sandpoint Taekwondo offers a program where everyone is welcome and can participate regardless of ones skill level. Their classes are built upon the principles of the true Master being absent of ego, and full of meekness, treating others the way we would like to be treated, courtesy and respect.

“We are also excited to announce the return of Mr. Robert Chavez who will be teaching classes with us starting in February. Mr. Chavez is a highly skilled instructor in Hapkido who has taught in the Sandpoint area for many years until sustaining an accident forcing him to stop,” said Szotkowski. “We are excited to have him join us.”

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes Sandpoint Taekwondo continued success in our community. For more information about their classes please stop by and visit us in the Wal-Mart shopping center, call them at 610-2577 or visit them at www.sandpointkarate.com.
