Why this is different

Most programs take your kid. We put you on the mat too.

Back-to-school season is a reset — new routines, less screen time, something that builds focus and confidence before the year gets loud. Nearly every option in the valley is a drop-off. This isn’t.

  • Parents and kids train together, in the same room, at the same time.
  • A dedicated beginner cohort — you start with people exactly where you are.
  • Discipline, respect, and focus that follow your kids home and into the classroom.
  • Authentic Korean martial arts with real lineage — not generic sport karate.

From Salt Lake families

In their words

★★★★★
“We feel fortunate to have discovered Wasatch Martial Arts. Master Corrales’s ability as an instructor is excellent. Our children are not only being instilled with a most valuable life skill set, but also self discipline, confidence and self respect that is paying dividends in all other aspects of their young lives.”
Chris
★★★★★
“Corrales Sa Bom Nim of Wasatch Martial Arts is, in my humble opinion, the best of the best — a world-class instructor whose presence I gladly drive an hour each way to be in. He honors the Moo Duk Kwan tradition with depth and devotion, teaching with a rare blend of high standard and genuine warmth. Every class draws the very best out of every student.”
Lisa
★★★★★
“The best extra-curricular activity for my kids and I. They have learned discipline, grit, self-control, while exercising their bodies and minds. Master Brian Corrales is a phenomenal martial artist, but an even better instructor and educator. My family has made great friendships being part of this community.”

What if we can’t make every Tuesday and Thursday?

Where are you?

We train in the gym at Christ United Methodist Church, 2375 East 3300 South. We’re independently owned.
