Best combination of culture and positive athletic experience.

The foundation of our martial arts academy is Taekwondo (Tae kwon do), martial art that comes from Korea. We consider that Taekwondo principles, help people improve individually and encourages them to grow into the strong individuals/leaders that our society needs. The highest priority of our martial arts program for kids and teens, is character development and our students benefit from it mentally, physically and of course emotionally. All our martial arts classes focus on the particulars and principles of taekwondo, that you can learn through forms, techniques and self defense.

We strongly believe that best leaders will always be the best disciples. Cedar Mill Martial Arts instructors and leaders team practice taekwondo as a lifestyle and they teach the fundamentals they learned from this art since they were kids. Our expertise relies on the foundation that comes from World Taekwondo and Kukkiwon in Korea. Our team keeps our teachings and curriculum fresh by attending martial arts seminars and symposiums in Portland, Oregon or  throughout United States. This way we ensure that our athletes are getting the best guidance when it comes to  real life skills, character improvement,  martial arts and athletic skills.

We figured out that some of our students are motivated to train past the regular weekly classes and focus on the competitive side of the sport as well. In order to make our program complete, we founded the Winner 1 (W1) competition team, where students have the chance to become world class athletes in taekwondo sparring. W1 is the marquee olympic sparring program in the state of Oregon, founded by Master Adrian, a former multiple national champion, international medalist and Romania National team member. As our students progress, they have the chance to try out and get selected by W1 sparring competition team.

With this mix of culture, self defense and competitiveness put together with our unique approach when it comes to teaching, athletes and students at Cedar Mill Martial Arts become able to lead with confidence, better themselves and blow away all challenges and expectations.
