Korean Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan:
(WTF-Kukkiwon, ITF - Chang Hon)

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 many Hap Ki Do Masters/Grandmasters
*Know the different styles of Hap Ki Do
*Know of NKMAA, World Kido Hae, World Hapkido Federation, Kuk Sool Won, etc
*Know how to carry, use and be proficient with;
-Bong, Juhl Bong and the Geum.
*ALL 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.

students trained by Grandmaster Timmerman. We traveled
to Sault Ste.Marie Ontario for this one year LDT training
and although there were many who began Kuk Sul and
Kong Shin Bup (TM), we were the only students
