Bringing Expert Taekwondo Instruction to Cedar Mill, Bethany and Beaverton
Areas We Serve
W1 Taekwondo is based in Cedar Mill, Portland, and families come to us from all over the west side, including Beaverton and Bethany. Our studio at 13547 NW Cornell Rd is an easy drive from both communities, and many of our current students commute in from exactly those neighborhoods.
What Parents and Students Are Saying
Master Adrian is a fantastic teacher and is always willing to help his students become better martial artists. He puts in the work to give his students the best opportunity to succeed.
My daughter started W1 Taekwondo with a trial class offered for a month. She liked it very much and never stopped attending. I can see how much confidence she has now!
We enrolled our three kids, ages 5, 6, and 7 and they have come such a long way in skill and discipline. Master Adrian's whole team is fantastic. Highly recommend!

Encouraging Our Students in Portland to Lead the Way - The Black Belt Way
The foundation of our martial arts academy is Taekwondo (Tae kwon do), a martial art that comes from Korea. We believe that Taekwondo principles help people improve individually and encourage them to grow into the strong leaders that our society needs.
Our winning Taekwondo culture is impacting the youth by pointing them in the right direction. Our purpose as a Leadership Taekwondo academy in Portland is to help everyone discover their self-worth. We understand that each individual is unique, and some are born with advantages that others don't have, but the act of working through your disadvantages can become your greatest strength in life. We empower the youth and equalize the playing field.
We back that up with real standards, not just words. We only award official Kukkiwon Black Belt certification, no shortcuts, no made up ranks. We've produced hundreds of Black Belts and brought home 14 national titles in Olympic sparring over the last four years. More than 60% of our students are girls and women, and our competition team and Black Belt class are both majority women. W1 is not a franchise. We're 100% locally owned, Cedar Mill based, and community supported, including through the W1 Foundation, which we founded to help our competition athletes cover training and equipment costs and rewards them for their results.
Our services are offered to Cedar Mill, Beaverton and Bethany. If you ever thought about bettering yourself, having fun or just trying a new activity, check us out!
From “I can’t” to “Watch this.”
Most kids walk into their first class a little unsure of themselves. Here’s what changes at W1.
“I’m not good at anything.”
“I earned this.”
Every new skill and belt is proof your child did something hard. Our instructors call out effort by name, so kids who doubted themselves start standing taller, on the mat and at school.
“This is too hard. I quit.”
“Let me try again.”
Every belt has a clear goal. When a kick or form gets tough, we break it down and coach them through it until it clicks. They learn that hard means keep practicing, not stop.
“Huh? I didn’t hear you.”
“Got it. I’m on it.”
Class starts with a bow and runs on clear routines: attention stance, eyes on the instructor, answers with respect. Kids practice self-control twice a week, and it follows them home.
“Just five more minutes on my game.”
“Can we go to taekwondo?”
Forty minutes of kicks, games and drills keep kids moving the whole class. They leave tired, happy and asking when they’re coming back.
“We’ve seen such a positive change in both of them—not only in their Taekwondo skills, but also in their discipline, focus, confidence, and respect.”
