About

For nearly three decades, Ko’s has been offering the highest level of Tae Kwon Do instruction in the Kansas City area. Our mission is to provide the highest standard of service and training by having top quality instructors and assistants. We will provide a challenging, yet fun and safe environment. We will help students build sound moral character, achieve goals, and develop a solid Tae Kwon Do foundation.

Black Belt

Achieving a black belt is a three-year goal for most students. Along the way there are short-term objectives. As students advance in skill level they advance a belt level. To help students achieve their goals they are tested every two months and their progress is assessed by an instructor.

We believe that learning to set and achieve goals will help students become more successful in other areas of their lives. Our program teaches discipline, hard work and the value of persisting until goals are reached.

Children

Ko’s Black Belt Academy instructors and assistants specialize in working with children. Classes are divided by belt level to provide the best possible learning environment for your child’s needs.

All children are taught at their own pace to achieve their maximum potential. Also, our four colored tape system helps keep children motivated as they progress through the ranks.
We help children:

  • Develop self confidence and an “I can do it” attitude
  • Improve self discipline for better behavior at home and school
  • Sharpen listening skills and focus for improved grades
  • Enhance strength, coordination and flexibility
  • Learn self defense for personal safety
