Bethesda Martial Arts Academy offers the best instruction in Tae Kwon Do for the entire family.6 days per week, the Academy focuses on building confidence, strength, concentration, coordination, discipline, and respect for others.

Led by top-ranked instructors -- Master Joseph Drabkin and Master Michael Coles -- the Academy has produced more than 135 Black Belts since it was founded in 1994. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Bethesda, the Academy is a terrific after-school alternative to conventional team sports and provides a unique opportunity for parents to participate in a fitness-building activity with their children.

Bethesda Martial Arts focuses on your child's academic progress, too. Instructors require the submission of students' report cards and encourage good study habits. Students must have an "A" average to test for their Black Belts, and many students have improved their academic performance after enrolling at the Academy.

For adults, the benefits of taking Tae Kwon Do are varied; they include weight loss and toning, improving overall fitness and coordination, building self-defense skills, stress management, and meeting new people who share similar goals.
