Martial Arts Lil Ninjas

Break the Barriers’ martial arts program is a combination of fun, fitness, and discipline! We offer Taekwondo certified by the World Taekwondo Federation. Master and director Chang-II (Charles) Kim, received his Hapkido 5th degree black belt from the Hawarangmooye Hapkido Federation in 1994. In 2010, he received his Taekwondo 5th degree black belt from Kukkiwon at the World Taekwondo Headquarters.

Class Structure

We train students in Taekwondo and group them together according to their age and martial arts experience, not ability. Those who quickly master their skills progress to the next belt level; whereas students who need more time or adaptive equipment, receive the necessary attention required to master their skills. Students have the option to take classes two times a week + one weekly sparring class, or one class a week + one weekly sparring class. Belt testing will be held every two months. Sanctioned USA Tournaments will also be offered and are optional for students.
