Taekwondo Studio Opening In Sarnia

A new Taekwondo studio is opening in Sarnia.

The Sarnia Olympic Taekwondo Martial Arts Academy will be located at Paterson Church at Russell St. and Wellington St.

Owner and Head Coach Mark Warburton says the Korean martial art mainly focuses on kicking.

He says kids who take the classes tend to be less aggressive, because they learn to channel their energy.
