- Taekwondo Programs: As the core of our offerings, our Taekwondo classes focus on teaching kicks, forms, and sparring techniques. We have separate programs tailored for different age groups, including classes for 5-6 year olds, 7-9 year olds, 10-12 year olds, and dedicated sessions for teenagers and adults.

- A True Family Environment: As a family business, we take pride in treating every student and their family with warmth and respect. A long-time member noted that we "treat you like family," and another shared that their "kids loved it here" and that the owners were the best. This personal touch fosters a sense of belonging and support that is hard to find elsewhere.
- Experienced and Caring Instructors: Our senior instructors, with over 20 years of experience, are not only highly skilled martial artists but also dedicated mentors. They prioritize the safety and well-being of their students, as evidenced by a review from a student who had a previous knee injury and felt "completely supported in keeping myself safe here."

Diablo Martial Arts Reviews
I started here after needing to leave another local martial arts school where I repeatedly injured my knee. I really wanted to continue a martial arts practice. I am one of a few adults in class, and I have to say: this is a family business and they treat you like family. The teenagers in class are mature, classes are serious and fun at the same time, and I feel completely supported in keeping myself safe here. I love the variety: classes are a mix of stretching, strengthening, taekwondo technique (kicks and forms), and weapons technique. I am never bored. Obviously a lot else has gone into this journey, but I am down 40 lbs in 5 months and stronger than I have been in decades. Thanks so much to Scott, Ian, Phyllis and all the black belts!
December 10 · valerie sandersMy kids went here for 6 yrs and we only left because we relocated to east coast. The owners are the best they treated us like family. My kids loved it here!
