Find the right class.
Classes are grouped by age. Every program runs Monday to Friday and again on Saturday morning.
Areas of growth.
Every class works on the physical side of taekwondo — kicking, forms, fitness, coordination — and on the habits that come with training: focus, discipline, respect for others and confidence in yourself.
Owner and Master Instructor
Master Sanghee Kim.
Master Kim has run taekwondo schools since 2010 — first in Chicago, then his own academy in Korea for thirteen years. Nova is his first school in Canada.
Why Nova.
A new school in Dartmouth, run by a master instructor who has taught for sixteen years and built a school of his own before this one.
Kukkiwon 6th Dan
A master-level black belt certified by the World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul, with a degree in taekwondo from Kyung Hee University.
Six days a week
Every program runs Monday to Friday and again on Saturday morning. Weekdays 2–9pm, Saturday 9am–1pm. Closed Sunday.
From age four
Little Stars is a 30-minute class built for four- and five-year-olds — coordination, focus and listening — before the full Kids program at six.
Family classes
Parents and children learn in the same class on Saturday at 12:05, and can join any regular weekday class together.
Questions parents ask.
The things families ask before a first class — where it is, when it opens, and what a class is actually like.
When does Nova Taekwondo open?
Nova Taekwondo opens Monday, November 2 at 650 Portland Street, Unit 17.
How young can my child start taekwondo?
Four. Little Stars is a thirty-minute class for ages four and five, built around what a young child can actually do — balance, coordination, listening and taking turns. Kids Taekwondo takes over at six.
Is there a trial class?
Yes. The first class is a complimentary trial — free, with no obligation to sign up.
What does taekwondo cost at Nova?
Membership depends on the program and on how many members of a family train, so the school gives rates directly rather than publishing one price. Call 902-706-5789 or email master@novataekwondo.ca.
