Elite Martial Arts

We've been going to Elite for nearly 2 years now and both my kids absolutely love it. The instructors are engaging and friendly but still push the kids to do/learn/be more. They are able to provide a strong cycle of positive reinforcement on achievements at all levels which keeps the kids focus and wanting to achieve more. I also really appreciate that self defence is part of every session. I see and know my kids are developing true life skills (self regulation, focus, goal setting, respect for others, leadership) in addition to the physical and mental challenges of Taekwondo itself. I couldn't provide a higher recommendation for a place for kids to grow!

My wife and I love Elite Martial Arts! It is a respectful atmosphere where everyone can feel accepted. All of the instructors are great as well and very personable. Our son can't wait to go to class at Elite because it's just an awesome place. I would suggest them to anyone looking for good training for their kids, or even the entire family! Tim L.

We’ve been training at Elite Olathe ATA since moving here, and it’s been an excellent experience. The atmosphere is friendly yet disciplined, and the instructors are truly dedicated — they tailor their approach for each student, mixing structure with encouragement (and even a bit of humor for younger kids!). Class times are well thought out, making it easy to balance with work and school schedules. The belt advancement process feels perfectly timed, ensuring students build real understanding and confidence at every level. Personally, we’ve seen steady growth in discipline, focus, and fitness, and I especially appreciate how they teach practical defense and strategies for handling bullying calmly and wisely. This school genuinely stands out — for both kids and adults, there’s no better place to learn and grow in Taekwondo.

My son started with Elite Martial Arts back in September. I never imagined that he would love it as much as he does. I’ve seen improvement in his grades and his attitude at home! Even family members have commented on how much his attitude has improved and how much more respectful he is now. The families at Elite Martial Arts are very warm and welcoming. The instructors are so encouraging but also stern. They are willing to sit down and explain how a black belt should act and why. And they are so patient while doing so. I love my Elite family!

My son has been attending classes at Elite for over a year. The positive atmosphere has helped build his confidence and excitement every class. The instructors are challenging while being supportive and kind. The community of the school is open, fun, and supportive of all students. This is a great place to bring your child to develop self-confidence and improve focus and responsibility. I'm even contemplating joining myself (if I ever get more free time!)
