it’s more than Martial Arts

Build Character and Gain Confidence

Our Martial Arts Programs

Our Mission

Our mission is to be an inclusive martial arts school that improves lives one black belt at a time. We understand that there are important life lessons to learn in between kicking and punching. As an inclusive martial arts school, our most important role is to help each student find the best versions of themselves while learning skills to be successful in their future. This is the black belt way. 

Our Teaching

The core of our school is the art and culture of the Korean martial art, Taekwondo (or Tae Kwon Do).  We believe these two factors are what help change people for the better and help them become better citizens for society.  Character development and life skills are the highest priorities in our programs for children and teens.  All of our programs, including the adult program, stress learning the details and intricacies of the art of Taekwondo. 

We believe that the best teachers are also the best students. Every instructor at Ko Martial Arts is certified and teaches Taekwondo based on the concepts of the Kukkiwon and World Taekwondo in Korea. We consistently update our knowledge and experience to ensure our students are receiving the best instruction in terms of martial arts skills, character development, and student engagement.

We understand that the art of Taekwondo is not completely reliable in terms of real world self-defense.  To fill this gap in our programs we have added boxing and jiujitsu as students progress.  Boxing is great for hand-eye coordination as well as for stand up defense.  Jiujitsu was designed for ground defense and giving the smaller opponent an advantage.

Through this combination of culture and self-defense as well as our personalized approach to teaching, students at Ko Martial Arts learn how to lead confidently, live respectfully, and overcome challenges throughout their lives.
