KAT has become far more than a gym, it's become part of our family! My wife earned her black belt here and my daughter just started her very first class. Their staff members are knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful! I'd recommend this gym all day every day!

Korean Academy of Martial Arts is outstanding! I had the chance to watch their students and coaches during the Open Colorado Cup Tournament we hosted, and I was genuinely impressed. Their students displayed impressive strength, discipline, and skill — a true reflection of the high-quality training they receive. The coaches at Korean Academy of Martial Arts clearly care about each student’s growth and development. Their dedication, professionalism, and supportive approach create an environment where students thrive, gain confidence, and continually improve. A truly excellent academy — highly recommended!

I absolutely love this place. My daughter started Taekwondo at her school and really loved it, so I got back into it after 20 years of being out of it. The instructors are awesome and they even have classes for older and more broken people like myself. There bn is something for all ages there. I have made so of the greatest friends/family from training here. I also now have been able to start helping teach at my daughters school program as an assistant instructor. Please come check out our dojang and see for yourself how amazing it is.

I started taking classes last year because they were offered through my community college. I did not think I would continue, but I was wrong. Korean Academy of Taekwondo has been a wonderful experience. I have grown in my health and fitness; the discipline I use in class has transferred over into other areas and helped to improve my quality of life. Master Bill, Master Katie, along with all of the other instructors are very knowledgeable in what they do. They have amazing skill, technique and passion for the art that help you develop more than you think you can. I have enjoyed my experience very much. We are now working on starting a club at our school so other students can take classes at the Korean Academy of Taekwondo. I'm looking forward to continuing my training and helping others begin their journey at this martial arts school!

I have been a part of KAT for over 15 years as a student, instructor, owner, and now as a parent as my kids are students of Master Ballard. Master Chris Ballard and his family are great to train with. They are calm, sincere, experienced and the taekwondo school atmosphere is friendly and great for kids and adults alike. Both taekwondo and jui jitsu programs are offered. The facility is clean and they are good about following Covid protocol.
