About Us
BRINGING TOGETHER ARGENTINA AND CANADA THROUGH TAEKWON-DO
ARCAN Taekwon-Do was formed in 2002 in San Ignacio, Misiones, Argentina by Mr. Diego Cabanas. Mr. C moved to Canada and opened ARCAN Taekwon-Do Canada in 2010.
What is Taekwon-Do?
Taekwon-Do is the Korean art of self-defense, created by General Choi Hong Hi in 1955.
Our curriculum covers all elements of traditional ITF Taekwon-Do: fundamental movements, patterns, breaking, step sparring, free sparring, self-defense and conditioning.
