Korean Academy of Taekwondo

Master Ballard along with his family are amazing teachers. We highly recommend this location. My son has learned so much and looks forward to going to class.

KAT has become far more than a gym, it's become part of our family! My wife earned her black belt here and my daughter just started her very first class. Their staff members are knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful! I'd recommend this gym all day every day!

The Ballard family brings a large and warm bundle of knowledge, experience, discipline, kindness, and professionalism to the Korean Academy of Taekwondo. I have known Mr. and Mrs. Ballard for over 15 years and was very pleased the first time I began training at their school in Albuquerque. It was hard work, rewarding, and worth every minute I was at the school. The entire family is an example to follow in training and everyday life. Both adults and children will receive quality training that lasts a lifetime.

I started taking classes last year because they were offered through my community college. I did not think I would continue, but I was wrong. Korean Academy of Taekwondo has been a wonderful experience. I have grown in my health and fitness; the discipline I use in class has transferred over into other areas and helped to improve my quality of life. Master Bill, Master Katie, along with all of the other instructors are very knowledgeable in what they do. They have amazing skill, technique and passion for the art that help you develop more than you think you can. I have enjoyed my experience very much. We are now working on starting a club at our school so other students can take classes at the Korean Academy of Taekwondo. I'm looking forward to continuing my training and helping others begin their journey at this martial arts school!

I absolutely love this place. My daughter started Taekwondo at her school and really loved it, so I got back into it after 20 years of being out of it. The instructors are awesome and they even have classes for older and more broken people like myself. There bn is something for all ages there. I have made so of the greatest friends/family from training here. I also now have been able to start helping teach at my daughters school program as an assistant instructor. Please come check out our dojang and see for yourself how amazing it is.
