The Rouleau • Holley’s Organization is made up of some of the best Martial Arts schools from across New Hampshire and Vermont. Our primary schools are Rouleau-Holley’s Tae Kwon do in Brattleboro, VT and Keene, NH.
Our affiliated schools include Alexander’s Tae Kwon Do, Kenny’s Tae Kwon Do & Riggs • Mahurin Tae Kwon Do. The organization was started by Grand Master Ed Budd, a student of Grand Master “Tiger” George Funny.
Our organization is also responsible for the I.P.P.O.N.E. and Twin State Martial Arts Association competition circuits as well as a Summer “Karate Camp,” held each year in New Hampshire.
We teach Moo Duk Kwan style Tae Kwon Do. This is a Korean Martial Art founded by Hwang Kee in 1945, after the end of Japanese occupation in Korea. It has roots in Chinese and Japanese arts, as well as the ancient Korean arts of Taekyon and Subak. It is related to the other Moo Duk Kwan arts, such as Soo Bahk Do and Tang Soo Do.
At Rouleau-Holley's, we combine traditional and sport techniques in a modern and fun environment. This gives our students the ability to improve their physical fitness, focus, confidence and build self-discipline.
Students learn not only to defend themselves by mastering a wide array of kicks, punches and blocks, but they also learn valuable life-skills such as teamwork, goal setting, perseverance and a strong work ethic.
Moo Duk Kwan is the “School of Martial Virtue.” The word “Moo” means military, chivalry, martial. “Duk” refers to benevolence, virtue, goodness and commanding respect. “Kwan” is a large building, palace or library.
Literally translated, the Korean word “Tae” means to kick or squash with the foot. “Kwon” implies a hand or fist to block, punch or strike. “Do” denotes an art or way, thus Tae Kwon Do means “The art of kicking, blocking and punching.”
