Our School

Not just for masters anymore…

The goal of Baker's Martial Arts is to teach you the graceful, powerful and practical art of Tae Kwon Do in a friendly, down-to-earth and family-oriented environment. We don’t believe that the militaristic master-is-all, student-is-grasshopper model is the best way to get this teaching (or learning) done. There are no master-sized egos in residence, just master teachers who want to help you learn as effectively and comfortably as possible. We believe that whether you’re in shape, out of shape, woman, man or child, it’s our job to make you feel welcomed and valued. Tae Kwon Do at Baker’s isn’t about hierarchy, it’s about inclusiveness. It teaches that the true way to achieve and grow is when the mind, body and spirit are working together.

This intricate art form is interpreted differently by everyone who practices. On the most basic level, it is a mode of self-defense and physical fitness. But for those who dedicate themselves to the art, it is artistic expression through movement, an exciting life activity and an avenue to gain physical, mental and spiritual focus and fitness in their lives. Practicing Tae Kwon Do is a means to developing self-discipline and self-respect that can be applied to all aspects of your life. Your Tae Kwon Do training and its ability to enrich your life are only limited by your commitment and imagination.

Kids love learning Tae Kwon Do. They get to jump, roll, kick, shout and spar. Parents love bringing their children to Baker’s because they can observe our experienced teachers offering their children so much more – character and confidence building; physical fitness; safety awareness; interaction with kids from diverse backgrounds; leadership; self discipline. Children learn how to focus and keep on task.

Students are expected to learn the Baker's Martial Arts Student Creed (credit to Jhoon Rhee, the “father of American Tae Kwon Do”, who developed this creed). Students may be asked to recite the student creed at promotions and discuss its relationship to their martial arts training.

Bakers Martial Arts Cultural Center is the finest school in the area, dedicated to making your Martial Arts experience enjoyable and satisfying. Our instructors are the best. They have studied and trained for years to qualify as part of the Bakers Martial Arts Cultural Center Team, and their primary goal is to assist you in being the best you can be.

Our carefully structured programs go far beyond punching, blocking, and kicking. We will help you acquire effective self-defense skills and provide you with a comprehensive, personal development program. It is our goal to raise the quality of life for all our students in every way possible.

Although we honor Martial Arts traditions that go back centuries, we are dynamic and are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to enthuse and excite our students.

At our Academy we also host various activities and events for everyone’s convenience and enjoyment. We have parties for all major holidays, sleepovers, Day Camps on Professional Days, an annual Anniversary with Academy Awards, and many more exciting events. We also offer Birthday Parties filled with exciting Martial Arts Games and a Black Belt instructor ready to teach awesome techniques to all our birthday guests.

We pledge to make each student’s journey as fun, exciting, and educating as possible. We monitor progress closely and walk with students every step of the way. We believe that being a Martial Artist is not just learning to kick and punch, it is about becoming the best that you can be in every way.
