Traditional Korean Martial Arts Training in the USA

Our Philosophy

KORMA-USA is dedicated to providing authentic Korean martial arts training. Our internationally certified instructors are committed to teaching a wide range of techniques, from forms to self-defense, fostering discipline, confidence, and physical fitness in a supportive and challenging environment. Join us to begin your journey of growth and empowerment.

Training Programs

At KORMA-USA, we offer comprehensive martial arts programs rooted in tradition, discipline, and personal growth. Each art we teach develops strength, confidence, and harmony—on and off the mat.

Taekwondo (Changmookwan)
Our Taekwondo program follows the Changmookwan lineage, emphasizing powerful technique, balance, and self-control. Students learn precise strikes, dynamic kicks, and forms that embody respect, perseverance, and leadership. Training builds focus, physical fitness, and the indomitable spirit central to true martial arts mastery.

Hapkido
Hapkido blends joint locks, throws, and defensive maneuvers into a practical and flowing self-defense system. This art teaches students to redirect force and remain calm under pressure, cultivating both mental resilience and physical adaptability. It’s ideal for those seeking real-world self-protection with traditional philosophy.

Tai Chi
Designed for relaxation, balance, and inner strength, our Tai Chi classes guide students through gentle, meditative movements that enhance energy flow and mindfulness. Practitioners improve flexibility, posture, and mental clarity, nurturing harmony between body and mind. Tai Chi welcomes all ages and fitness levels.

Together, these programs form a complete path to personal excellence—whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, or lifelong learning.

Black Belt Certification

Earning a black belt is a milestone that represents dedication, technical mastery, and personal transformation. At KORMA-USA, we uphold the highest standards of martial arts education and integrity in every level of advancement.

Dual Certification
Students have the opportunity to earn official black belt certification through both KORMA-USA and internationally recognized organizations—the World Taekwondo Changmookwan Federation and the World Hapkido Martial Arts Federation. This dual recognition ensures our graduates are acknowledged worldwide for their skill, discipline, and authentic lineage.

Independent Black Belts
We proudly support and train martial artists who have previously earned black belt rank outside of a formal organization. Independent practitioners seeking to continue their training, verify their credentials, or pursue legitimate certification are welcome in our program. Our structured evaluation and re-certification process provides proper guidance, technical refinement, and official recognition within our international network.

Instructor Training

Becoming an instructor represents the highest level of commitment to martial arts tradition, leadership, and education. At KORMA-USA, we provide a structured pathway for martial artists who wish to share their knowledge and establish accredited schools under recognized international standards.

Instructor Certification
Our instructor training program prepares candidates to teach Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Tai Chi with authenticity and professionalism. Courses include advanced technical instruction, teaching methodology, student management, and ethics in martial arts education. Upon successful completion, participants earn official instructor certification through KORMA-USA, with eligibility for international recognition by the World Taekwondo Changmookwan Federation and World Hapkido Martial Arts Federation.

School Accreditation
Certified instructors may apply for school accreditation, which grants their dojang or training center formal recognition within the KORMA-USA network and its associated world federations. Accredited schools gain access to standardized curriculum guidelines, testing procedures, rank promotion authorization, and continuing education support. This ensures consistent quality and maintains the integrity of martial arts instruction across all affiliated programs.

Leadership Development
Instructor training extends beyond technique—it cultivates mentorship, communication, and the values of respect, humility, and service. Through ongoing professional development and federation collaboration, instructors become ambassadors of authentic martial arts culture and role models within their communities.
