Why Taekwondo?

More than a sport. Life skills for a lifetime.

Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art that develops the whole person — body, mind, and character. These are the qualities our students build, one class at a time.

Confidence
Students learn to stand tall, speak up, and believe in what they can achieve.
Focus
Structured drills sharpen attention and listening skills that carry into the classroom.
Discipline
Consistent practice builds self-control and the habits needed to reach real goals.
Respect
Bowing, courtesy, and kindness toward others are part of every single class.
Perseverance
Challenges become opportunities to keep going, try again, and never give up.
Fitness
Strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination developed through active training.
Leadership
Students grow into role models who help, encourage, and lead others by example.

Meet Master Choe

Building great people, not just great martial artists.

Master Choe has dedicated his career to teaching Taekwondo as a path to strong character. Since 2010, he has guided students in the United States with patience, high standards, and genuine care.

His philosophy is simple: the skills learned on the mat — respect, self-discipline, and the courage to keep going — should make students better sons and daughters, better classmates, and better leaders in their community.

Our family is so happy with Wilsonville Master Choe’s Taekwondo Academy! Master Choe is dedicated, kind, funny, and truly cares about his students. He brings a wonderful balance of discipline, encouragement, and fun to his teaching. Since our son Roman started attending, we’ve seen a tremendous improvement in his behavior, his skills, and how he carries himself. It’s been wonderful to watch him learn and grow, and we’re so proud that he recently earned his Purple Belt! Master Choe’s positive influence reaches well beyond the classroom. We’re grateful for the time and care he puts into helping Roman grow as a person. We highly recommend this academy to any family looking for an amazing instructor and a welcoming place for their child to learn!

My 4 year old has been taking classes at Wilsonville Taekwondo Academy since mid January and we could not be happier. Master Choe is so positive and uplifting. He really encourages and is also silly with the littles which makes the experiences so fun. I highly recommend!
