“Taekwondo helps students build confidence, discover inspiration, and find belonging in a community of disciplined martial artists.

You and your children learn more than kick and punch techniques. Students receive personalized guidance and coaching from certified black belts including the humbly strong and wise Master Hwang. Children will benefit from having role models for respect, diligence, and healthy masculinity at KAT Shawnee.

As an adult student, people have noticed that Taekwondo has improved my fitness, confidence, and leadership skills. I look forward to working with more students and growing stronger together!“

“Kenukan dojo is nothing short of phenomenal. Sensei Travis, Mr. Kinser, and all of the fellow students are focused on learning together and uplifting one another. All of the teachings are practical and you feel your confidence increase every time. Whether it's the Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Kickboxing, Self-Defense, or MMA, all of them are taught with precision. Thank you for all that you have all taught me, whether Sensei, Mr. Kinser, or my fellow dojomates.“

“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.“

“I had the honor of training with Master Richard Grimm at the Kukkiwon International Masters Course in Chicago this November. He was my partner for several days. What an amazing martial artist. He helped me with the drills and provided excellent advice on how to make certain techniques more effective. I highly recommend his dojang!“
