Why does your sign say "KARATE"?

Request More Information

There are many similarities between Karate and Taekwondo. Karate originated in Japan and Taekwondo is the Korean form of this martial art. Before Taekwondo became recognized as such an awesome sport that helps kids, teens and adults develop confidence physically and emotionally, few people knew what the word "Taekwondo" meant. Our Taekwondo America schools often use the word "karate" in signage because it was immediately identifiable as martial arts.

I love this place very much, not only it teaches kids how to stay active and focused, the instructors always talk to kids about different life lessons and manners. Thank you very much.I love this place very much, not only it teaches kids how to stay active and focused, the instructors always talk to kids about different life lessons and manners.

Miss Thompson is awesome, as well as all the instructors and helpers!! Blake has been there just over a year, and he always says how much he loves coming. I’ve seen so much growth in him outside of being here from lessons and behaviors that he’s being taught during class. Definitely recommend !!

Our daughter loves the academy and her confidence and level of respect have both increased since she started!
