World Class TaeKwonDo in Draper & Lehi

Give your child the grit and resilience they need to succeed in life. We build the discipline, respect, and confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Why Kids Martial Arts Builds Real Resilience

Modern childhood often lacks the challenges that build true character. Without a structured environment to test their limits, many kids struggle with focus, respect for authority, and the resilience to bounce back from failure. The ‘soft path’ is easy, but it doesn't prepare them for life.

  • Does your child give up easily when things get hard?

  • Do they struggle to look adults in the eye or say "Yes Sir"?

  • Are you looking for more than just another "after-school game"?

Authentic Taekwondo: We Teach Character,
Not Just Kicking

At U.S. Taekwondo, we don't just teach kids how to fight; we teach them how to live. Unlike "daycare dojos" that hand out belts for participation, our curriculum is built on the official standards of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). We forge a strong mind, body, and spirit through authentic Korean martial arts training.

Character Starts at Home (The US Taekwondo Difference)

Our training doesn't stop at the dojo door. We partner with parents to ensure discipline carries over to your living room and classroom.

THE HOME CHORE CHART

Students must demonstrate responsibility—making their bed, cleaning their room, and brushing their teeth—to earn their stripes.

ACADEMIC ACCOUNTABILITY

We require satisfactory school grades and conduct reports from teachers.

MENTAL TRAINING

Students learn to memorize and apply core values: "I will always be respectful to my parents, teachers, and elders, Sir!"

Led by Grandmaster
Soung Sik Kim

In a sea of martial arts schools, lineage matters. Grandmaster Kim is a 7th Degree Black Belt and is Kukkiwon Certified (The World Taekwondo Headquarters in South Korea). He is strict but kind, teaching students that true self-esteem comes from doing hard things, not from empty praise. When you train at U.S. Taekwondo, you are learning the official Olympic-style martial art, recognized globally.

We Teach the Olympic TaeKwonDo Standard

Most parents don't know that not all black belts are the same. Many schools issue "studio belts" that aren't recognized outside their own walls. U.S. Taekwondo is a member of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), the only organization recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

  • Global Recognition: A Black Belt earned here is recognized in 200+ countries. Your child’s achievement travels with them for life.

  • Safety & Standards: Our curriculum follows strict global guidelines for safety and technique used by Olympic athletes.

  • The Real Deal: Your child isn't learning a made-up style; they are learning an official Olympic sport.
