Learn Martial Arts in a Fun and Safe Environment!
See what people are saying about Roanoke Taekwondo Academy
Through the martial arts, we're helping our community become stronger, more confident, and more compassionate.
By training in the martial arts, you'll develop unwavering confidence and heightened self-esteem. Taekwondo will give you the opportunity to leave fearlessly, here in Roanoke or wherever life takes you.
Mastering each new technique and journeying from white belt to black belt requires perseverance and self-control, and the lessons you learn in the dojo will make a difference in all aspects of life.
The martial arts will prepare you to defend yourself in an emergency situation, both by giving you the fitness and techniques you'll need, but also by expanding your ability to recognize a dangerous situation.
When you train with us here at Roanoke Taekwondo, you're getting more than just martial arts lessons. You're connecting with our community and meeting lifelong friends and mentors.
We want to help men, women, and children from across our community become the best they can be. Our Taekwondo classes are an excellent way for your child to receive the exercise they need while also building strong core values and connecting with a community of new friends and mentors from across Roanoke. They'll also learn effective self-defense skills and anti-bullying tips!
Through our confidence-building martial arts programs, our team at Roanoke Taekwondo will help your child reach their full potential. Our instructors are caring, compassionate, and direct -- they'll provide expert training in a safe, fun environment where children of all abilities and backgrounds can thrive. We'll help to develop vital skills and values such as focus, respect, discipline, self-esteem, and responsibility.
Starting as young as three years old, we teach children how to punch and kick with correct form. But Taekwondo and Karate aren't just about learning to fight -- they are about developing a powerful sense of self, instilling positive values, creating unwavering confidence, and establishing a supportive community. There are a wealth of mental and physical benefits that come with our martial arts classes.
Students and parents report that Taekwondo, just like Karate, is a terrific way to keep children active and fit during off seasons of baseball, basketball, football, and soccer... but it's not just for athletes! Taekwondo helps build flexibility, total-body fitness, hand-eye coordination, and gross motor skills. Best of all, it's tons of fun for kids of all ages!
We offer a flexible schedule to keep things convenient for you. The first step is trying out your FREE CLASS to see if Roanoke Taekwondo is a good fit for you!
Awesome place, our whole family participates! Good exercise and good fun for everyone!
It is such in amazing place to go learn and make friends. I have grown so much in my 4 years doing it.
Can't say enough great things about this school! The instructors are top notch! Mr. Abbott gets to know his students and makes sure each student receives individualized instruction when needed. He never lets students "slide" and encourages them to strive for excellence. There are multiple classes each week to choose from so kids involved in other sports, clubs or activities can still pursue those interests as well as learn Taekwondo.
