Meet Your Instructor
Master Jay So is a 5th Dan black belt with over 20 years of teaching experience. Classes take place at 44B Natural Springs Rd in Gettysburg.
Junior Warriors is our program for ages 7–12. The schedule lists beginner and family classes as TKD Beginners and TKD Family. Those classes welcome ages 7 and up, so your child may train alongside older students.
More about Master Jay →More Than Learning a Kick
Practice focus
Following instructions, learning a sequence, and returning to a technique give students repeated opportunities to practice paying attention.
Build confidence through progress
Belt training gives your child something concrete to work toward. A new skill, a stripe, and a completed challenge are steps they can recognize.
Learn respect and self-control
Taekwondo pairs physical skills with how students treat their instructor and one another. Character and effort matter alongside technique.
Our S.E.K.L. approach brings Structure, Emotion, Knowledge, and Legacy into training. Explore how we teach →
