At Personal Best Martial Arts Academy we teach a blend of contemporary and traditional martial arts originating from Korea. Our focus is on the self-defense and personal development aspects of the martial arts rather than competing in tournaments. With that said, we do support and encourage those students that wish to compete in approved tournaments as an excellent way to improve their skills.

Taekwondo

TaeKwonDo is a popular Korean martial art whose name means "the way of hand and foot". It uses powerful hand strikes, blocks, and kicks as a means of self-discipline, spiritual growth, physical conditioning, and self-defense. TaeKwonDo develops the mind, body, and spirit, and encourages a balance of knowledge, strength, and honesty.

Jujitsu

Jujitsu is primarily associated with self-defense techniques including joint-locks (releases), strikes, throws and other interchangeable moves that create a smooth flow of counterattacks. Some styles of jujitsu are focused on standing techniques and some on ground grappling (wrestling).

Self Defense

You will begin to learn effective and powerful self-defense skills and develop superior body mechanics. The basic attitudes of a successful martial artist (and a successful person) are respect, discipline, goal setting, positive self-image, and effective leadership.

Respect

Through the martial arts philosophy and customs, the student learns to build positive relationships based on respect and friendship.

Discipline

Goal Setting

Goals are a necessary road map for a successful life. It was once said that, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." On the journey towards becoming a Black Belt, you will gain experiences and feelings of success as you set and achieve worthwhile goals and earn progressively higher belts.

Leadership

As you work toward you Black Belt, you will develop such leadership skills as effective methods of working and communicating with others to achieve common goals. These leadership skills will improve all aspects of your life. When you achieve Purple Belt, you will be able to participate in the S.W.A.T. Leadership Training Program.
