Why Washington Black Belt Academy?

Washington Black Belt Academy is about changing lives through quality, dependable, and first class martial arts instruction.  Through training in the art of Tae Kwon Do a student can learn lessons of personal safety and self-defense, but more importantly learn about who they are as an individual.

Our philosophy is that a Black Belt is a character and a way a life…  “A Black Belt is not something you earn, but something you become!” …so it is our goal to teach each our student to strive for personal excellence in everyday life, learn essential life skills become successful, and to teach about personal safety.

Washington Black Belt Academy was founded in 2003 by Master Richard Chung in Renton, WA, and have since expanded into Redmond, WA & Edmond, OK.  All of our programs are designed to take a student from white belt through black belt and beyond in Tae Kwon Do.  However, we also incorporate additional training from other mixed martial arts such as Boxing, Kick Boxing, Kung Fu, Judo, and more.
