Welcome to Vortex Martial Arts Academy!
Our Mission Statement:
There is incredible power at the intersection of Martial Arts and Character Development. For thousands of years martial arts has been one of the most effective tools of self-development.
At Vortex Taekwondo, we harness this power and pride ourselves on our ability to bring communities together through martial arts. We inspire people to seek challenge and adventure; teaching them to challenge the status quo and transforming their mindset to prepare them for a life filled with opportunity.
Vision:
Our vision is to inspire a generation that they can, and should, impact the world for good. Our legacy will not just be what happens on the training floor, but what our students do when they leave.
We believe there is nothing else out there like martial arts to develop a person’s character. Combining modern teaching methods with traditional values and a moral code we have established an excellent methodology which embraces this shift to great effect.
