20 Years of Teaching Excellence

At the Academy of Korean Martial Arts, all instructors and assistant instructors are personally selected for not only their skill and achievements in martial arts but also their ability to effectively relate that knowledge and understanding to students of all age levels and backgrounds.  Therefore, our instructors and assistant instructors continuously undergo advanced training in all self-defense skills and are kept abreast of the latest teaching methods and human development. It is no surprise that our instructors are ranked among the finest in the world, with instructors from other countries frequently visiting and sharing their knowledge with us.

Programs Designed With You In Mind

At Academy of Korean Martial Arts, we are interested not only in self-defense skills, but also in the complete development of each student. Individual attention is a feature of each and every class .  Our instructors and assistant instructors take seriously their responsibility as role models for younger students, teaching them the importance of strong character, leadership, and good values.

A Modern Approach To Self-Defense

Although our techniques are based on centuries-old knowledge, it is our application of that knowledge that sets Academy of Korean Martial Arts apart from other schools.  We realize that each student possesses different physical abilities.  Size and strength varies with each individual so once you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our program will enhance your personal physical capabilities and maximize your self-defense skills.  You will understand exactly what it takes - mentally and physically - to defend yourself or your loved ones should the need ever arise.

Personal Development

When you compare Academy of Korean Martial Arts to most schools, you will find that we are miles ahead of the field.  At Academy of Korean Martial Arts, our carefully structured programs go a lot further than just punching and kicking.  As professional martial arts instructors, we feel that it is our duty not only to help our students develop self-defense skills, but also provide a complete program of personal development to enhance the students’ quality of life.

Black Belt Excellence Recognition

Each month our children's program will focus on a specific aspect of martial arts training such as fitness, confidence, persistence, personal  safety, and so forth. These individual subjects are addressed in our “Lesson of the Week” where we highlight just how martial arts can improve many areas of our students’ lives.  We distribute monthly assignment sheets to our younger students and when returned completed and on time, we award a “Black Belt Excellence” stripe for the student to proudly wear on his or her belt.
