TaekFunDo: Where Fun Meets Taekwondo
A Revolutionary Educational System for Kids
TaekFunDo was founded in 2019 by Hamed Konarivand to fill a critical gap in child development programs. Inspired by his own journey—from a young Taekwondo enthusiast to a professional coach—Hamed envisioned a system that blends the physical, mental, and social benefits of Taekwondo with a fun, no-pressure atmosphere. The result? A vibrant curriculum that helps children build confidence, develop motor skills, and grow socially, all while gently introducing basic Taekwondo movements like kicking and punching.
“If the kids decide to continue with Taekwondo, that’s wonderful—but it’s not required.
My goal is to give them a positive space to learn, have fun, and cultivate skills that will make them happier and healthier for life.”
— Hamed Konarivand, TaekFunDo Founder
