Martial arts can mean many different things depending on who you ask. For some, it's exercise. For others, it's learning to protect yourself. For the team at KTA Northwest Martial Arts, it's a way of approaching the world with clarity, self-confidence, and control of your own body. Join us today. As one of the founding fathers of Taekwondo in Indiana, Grand Master Yoon brought his 50+ years of experience to Indianapolis more than 40 years ago.
Since then, he has promoted more than 3,500 students to Black Belt status. An 9th Degree Black Belt certified by the World Taekwondo Federation, Grand Master Yoon conducts all promotion tests only for KTA students. His goals include continuing the growth of Taekwondo among the young and young at heart.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
My son has had lessons here for the last two years. Master Cotte and his wife are professional, loving, and very skilled. We love the confidence and skill that my son is learning. The values of leadership, discipline, and hard work that we teach at home are also taught here. I would highly suggest KTANW!

KTA Northwest is a family friendly Taekwondo dojang (training hall or school), lead by the knowledgeable and friendly, Master Cottee. Most students are kids and teens, but there are several parents and their children who come to class together. There are several high ranking adults that help with classes to give students more opportunities for one on one and small group instruction.

I LOVE KTA! My youngest son started with them a month or so ago and it's been amazing. My child is so shy and reserved and getting him to sign up for any type of sports or activities is a real chore. This is not the case with KTA. They are so kind and gentle but at the same time manage to teach discipline and commitment. My son is in the middle of a 180 thanks to this place! He's more confident and even listens better to instruction at home! I can't say enough good things about this place :)

I cannot say enough good things about KTA Northwest. Master Cottee is an amazingly talented instructor. He not only takes the time to teach two classes almost every day, but he frequently stays after class to give individual instructions if requested. Master Cottee also practices what he teaches. He has competed in several national and international level competitions and has worked to earn his SEVENTH DEGREE BLACK BELT. His years of experience and teaching show in his level of expertise. Master Cottee's wife is also an instructor at the school. She is patient and caring. This is a great family

Our two kids have been coming to KTA for about three years now. I can't tell you how much they've learned about themselves through self-discipline and courage, and how much they've grown in confidence through excellent teaching coupled with loving support by Master and Mrs. Cottee. There have been times when my kids have wanted to quit, and one time my son did. But what drew him back was the special relationship between him and Master Cottee. Positive affirmation from a caring adult in a child's life is priceless. And with KTA, my kids get this with the side-benefit of working hard in a challenging

My family has been training with Master Cottee for 12+ years. My oldest daughter went off to college with a third degree black belt. She has since graduated and moved to a new city and is searching for a new taekwondo school. She is having a hard time finding a school with the same devotion to the sport and teaching the kids that she found at KTANW. My son and second daughter both trained through their second Dan before heading off to college. My youngest is still in high school and working with me on our third Dan. It's has been a lot of fun to learn and train with my kids. KTANW has been a huge

My son has been learning taekwondo at this facility for more than a year. Master Cottee does a wonderful job of guiding kids & adults physically as well as mentally. Along with him, Ms. Cottee and the other black belts help train as needed. We are very happy with the training and personal encouragement Master Cottee offers to the kids and have recommended this place to many friends of ours.

I'm pretty shocked to see anyone give this man a 5-star rating. I purchased his "Groupon" way back in May, called and left a voicemail for a call back because his "office hours" are pretty inconvenient for a working, busy mom. It seems he only has office hours when conducting class, which wouldn't be ideal for me to learn about the programs and have my questions answered, so I thought sure I'd receive a call back. Of course, the call never came and my daughter has since been recruited for another activity that places an additional strain on our schedule. It's been so long that I forgot about the

Both of my boys started Taekwondo at this school June 2015 - they have gained more than martial arts skills. Martial arts teach you discipline, to be respectful, hard working, and more responsible individuals. Before we started going here my youngest had several issues with authority and getting in trouble at school (he struggles with ADHD) - I believe his instruction with Master Cottee has vastly improved his behavior in several areas in life.
I have also taken lessons here and worked on learning the style myself. Master Cottee has always be respectful to me and pushed me in my instruction to
