One Big Happy Family--Bigger is Better

We are entering our 10th year as Missoula Taekwondo Center and we have seen ourselves grow in numbers, knowledge and ability to positively affect the world.  We look far different today than we did when we opened in 2002.  Then: 40 students, 1 Quonset hut, 1 instructor.  Now: 200+ students, 1 specially designed Taekwondo Training Facility, classes and workouts led by 10 different instructors and infinitely more opportunity for all of our students to learn and grow in our dojang and in the wide world of life.

As we started our steady growth Steve and I constantly came back to the core idea that he, Master R, is the secret ingredient to what makes Missoula Taekwondo Center be truly special.  We do still realize the "magic" of Master R, but we can now see that so many of our students have taken what they have learned here and added more layers and depth that we all benefit from.

Our TKD family is the largest and most diverse in Montana and we are extremely proud of that.  Our students who have found enough worth in their training here to stay on for years are still growing but more importantly they are finding ways to contribute to their peers, their seniors and their juniors.  Because we are privileged to have so many perspectives each of you has the benefit of seeing martial arts and the world through hundreds of pairs of eyes.

Our daily training is enhanced through the energy created in a large body of like minded individuals and through the availability of numerous and varied training partners.  We make every efforts to keep our ratios of instructors to students in the 8 to 1 or lower ratio.  With our continued growth we are now offering a couple classes in addition to our current classes Mon and Wed Beginners 5:30-6:15 and Yellow to Sr. Green 6:15-7:15.

Thank you for being part of our family.  We love and value each of you.
