De Witt Martial Arts teaches Traditional "Old School" Korean Martial
Arts of un-armed self defense, not sports martial arts. Instructors
teach strict, disciplined Korean Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do, HapKiDo and Weapons
classes which promote integrity, accountability, perseverance and the highest
Korean martial arts standards found anywhere, guaranteed! Every student at the
De Witt Martial Arts dojang must meet and maintain exceedingly
high standards for the proficiency of these traditional Korean martial arts and
demonstrate their rank curriculum knowledge, verbally & physically, without
hesitation, regardless of rank. Classes are very demanding, however, our students
have always demonstrated the "student's oath" and have performed exceedingly
well. If you or your family wish to learn the Korean martial arts from the best
Black Belt instructors in central Minnesota, come in and train with us. De
Witt Martial Arts is one of the best/top Korean martial arts schools in Central
Minnesota. Our students are not only known for their martial arts proficiency
and thorough attention to details and standards but also for having some of the
top GPA, school grades in Crow Wing County. We do NOT, as many/most martial
arts schools do, hand out martial arts color belts just to keep students.
We do NOT test and promote our students every four to six weeks or give students
"bonus promotional tests" in order for them to advance more quickly,
allowing DMA to retain students. A student must make this training a priority
and be committed as they learn traditional Korean martial arts. Our promotional
tests are thorough, intense and each promotion will test every student's cognitive
and physical skills/abilities. Our martial arts students "EARN"
each and every belt rank and if they are NOT promoted, their money -test fee-is
returned to them.
Students who join DMA know: *The history of
Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do *The difference between WTF, Kukkiwon and he ITF.
*Thoroughly know of Universal TaeKwon Do Brotherhood / International SunjaDo
Assoc *Know who the Tae Kwon Do Grandmasters and Master are and were *Know
the differences between sports TKD and pure traditional Korean martial arts *Know
the many different styles of Tae Kwon Do *Know what Hap Ki Do is, along with

DMA students, color belts/Black Belts, receive promotional rank certificates
each time they are promoted. *ALL school age DMA students must bring in their
report cards and must possess satisfactory school grades. These students must
possess and maintain at least the "B" average and above in order
to test for First Geup Red Belt and any Black Belt rank. De
Witt Martial Arts is a
no nonsense Korean martial arts dojang with the most rigorous and demanding
martial arts curriculums within the upper mid-west and is one of the best Korean
martial arts dojang in Central Minnesota.
