About us

A small studio that knows every student by name

We have taught traditional Taekwondo to our neighbourhood for over a decade. Classes stay small on purpose, so beginners are never lost at the back of the room and returning students always have something to work on. Come and watch a class before you commit — there is no pressure and no joining fee.

  • Small classes — nobody trains at the back of the room
  • Traditional Kukkiwon curriculum and belt gradings
  • No joining fee, and no long contract to sign

5th Dan Black Belt, Head Instructor

Master Park has trained for over twenty-five years and holds a 5th Dan from the Kukkiwon. He teaches every grading class personally and believes the point of martial arts is to build steady, respectful people first and competitors second.
