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. you Come in a try our two weeks of FREE lessons. No obligations to join, no contracts!

De Witt Martial Arts is one of the very best 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 attend DMA know:
*The history of Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do
*The difference between WTF, Kukkiwon and he ITF.

International SunjaDo Association
*Know who the Tae Kwon Do Grandmasters and Master are and were

maintain at least the "B" average and above in order to test for
First Geup Red Belt and any Black Belt rank.

rigorous and demanding martial arts curriculums within the upper mid-west
and is one of the best Korean martial arts dojang in Central Minnesota.

students trained by Grandmaster Timmerman. We traveled
to Sault Ste.Marie Ontario for this one year LDT training

Kong Shin Bup (TM), we were the only students
