Discover Excellence at ABBA Martial Arts for Kids in Peachtree City

    At the American Black Belt Academy in Peachtree City, we specialize in teaching Taekwondo for kids. Since opening our martial arts school in 2012, we have been dedicated to providing high-quality Taekwondo instruction. Our motto is "The Greatest Power in Life is Discipline," and we truly believe that discipline is key to success in life to kids.

Our headmaster, Master Kang, moved to the United States in 2008 with a passion for teaching Taekwondo the right way. You can learn more about Master Kang on our "About" page. His wife, Miss Tasha, manages the entire academy with care and dedication.

Now, shall we take a look around the ABBA Martial Arts Peachtree City and see what we have to offer?

   Here's a view of our martial arts school from the outside. We have large windows with our logo proudly displayed, and below the logo, it says "American Black Belt Academy." The spacious windows make our school bright and welcoming, and you can even catch a glimpse of our students in action from outside.

   When you open the doors to our taekwondo school(Dojang), the first thing you'll see is our welcoming front desk. In front of the desk, there's a black sign that says "American Black Belt Academy," and on the wall behind it, you'll see our large ABBA logo proudly displayed.

   As you turn to the right, you'll notice the floor is hardwood, and you'll see the mats where our students train. There are four black mats surrounded by red mats, allowing us to divide students into groups for focused instruction. Because we keep the student-to-instructor ratio low, kids can really concentrate and improve their skills.

On the wall, you'll see both the American and Korean flags, with the word "Taekwondo" written in Korean between them. Below that, there's a large, long mirror that students can use to check their moves while they practice.

To the far right, you'll find our ABBA T-shirt display, where we have a variety of designs available for purchase anytime. Feel free to take a look and pick out your favorite!

   You'll see a sign for the boys' restroom. The sign features a boy in a punching stance, indicating the restroom's location. Next to it, there’s a poster titled “5 Steps to Managing Big Emotions.” Learning Taekwondo helps our students develop and improve these essential emotional skills. We believe that understanding and managing these five key emotions is crucial for our students as they navigate through life.

   As you walk down the hallway, you'll come across our attendance cards, displayed above which are some photos related to our Taekwondo school. The top right photo shows the Kukkiwon, the World Taekwondo Headquarters, located in Korea. When our students earn their black belts, the Kukkiwon issues and sends their certification and ID card directly from Korea.

"Kukkiwon (국기원, Kukkiwon, World Taekwondo Headquarters) serves as the central school(Dojang) for Taekwondo and functions as the global headquarters. It issues black belt certifications and various qualifications, and is an international institution dedicated to research, education, and events aimed at expanding the Taekwondo community."

The middle photo is American Black Belt Academy's logo along with a brief description of our mission.

The top right photo is where we first opened our martial arts school in Peachtree City. After teaching students there for two years, we expanded to the location shown in the bottom left photo. We taught students martial arts there for about five years before moving again in 2019 to our current, larger location, as our student numbers grew.

   Next, let’s take a look at some photos that highlight Master Kang’s Taekwondo journey.

The photo on the far left shows Master Kang during his middle school years. It’s a group photo taken during a Taekwondo training camp with the school's Taekwondo team.

The middle photo captures a victorious moment at a middle school Taekwondo competition. Master Kang won the championship by winning all five of his matches out of about 20 competitors.

The photo at the top right is from 2002, showing Master Kang on the podium receiving a bronze medal and shaking hands after an international junior Taekwondo Championship competition in Turkey.

The bottom right photo depicts Master Kang participating in his first demo event in the United States, held in Los Angeles. His first experience teaching in the U.S. began at the American Martial Arts Academy in Simi Valley, California.

On the left wall, you’ll see three wooden plaques, each representing the core values of Taekwondo.

   This area is where students can leave their shoes, jackets, and water bottles before stepping onto the mats. We have shelves and a shoe rack for their convenience. New students are guided here by our leadership students to help them get settled in.

   Welcome to our parents' room, where you can comfortably sit and watch your kids during their Taekwondo classes. We've also stocked some books for younger siblings or friends who come along, so they can spend their time here pleasantly. For the little ones, there’s a kid-sized table and chairs where they can draw or play.

Having a dedicated space for parents ensures that our students can focus on their classes without any distractions.

   At the American Black Belt Academy Peachtree City, we always strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming space for our students.
