Established 2010

Authentic Training For Modern Lives

From mastering the martial art of Taekwondo and progressing through the belt levels, to becoming a stronger person both physically and mentally, students at Arizona Taekwondo are continually growing as individuals. While working with qualified instructors in a bright, clean and air-conditioned facility, students feel right at home as they train.

Arizona Taekwondo has been the premier choice for teaching martial arts since 2010. We provide a unique experience not only by teaching Olympic-style Taekwondo, but by creating a warm, family atmosphere evident both on and off the mat.

Owner, Master Chris Kim, is a JiDoKwan 8th degree black belt, a USAT Level II Coach, World Taekwondo Coach (Sparring/Poomsae), and a certified World Taekwondo International Referee for sparring, poomsae, and Para-Taekwondo. Our instructors promote the Five Tenets of Taekwondo — Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit — while maintaining a fun yet challenging environment for every student.
