Services
North Metro Martial Arts (NMMA) was created to provide exceptional martial arts training in a family friendly environment that encourages participation and growth for all its students. In addition, all of our programs are integrated and modified to each individual's strengths and abilities, as over 30 percent of our student population has a special need i.e., sensory processing disorders, autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Instructors train their students to the best of their ability. Some students come fit, while others have come 100 pounds overweight. Most come with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started as late as age 65, and have still earned their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else.
Taekwondo is a systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial art that teaches more than physical fighting skills, it enhances one's spirit and life through training the body and mind. It is an integrated approach that focuses on building leadership, self-discipline, respect, courtesy, integrity, self-control and perseverance.
Since its inception in 2013, NMMA has grown to provide not only martial arts instruction but afterschool, mentor and leadership programs that are based on the foundational principles of martial arts. NMMA programs have been created to fit the emerging needs of the surrounding community to provide a safe and positive environment that builds confidence, self-esteem, fitness, self-defense and life skills.
Respect, dedication, determination, and confidence are all qualities that can help your child excel in the classroom and at home. With North Metro Martial Arts, our Taekwondo KUBs' program helps students build these important characteristics and so much more. Our program provides a comprehensive martial arts instruction customized to build on the way kids learn and develop.

We've been coming here for 7 years now. Mr. Tasker has trained my son from a white belt to a second degree black belt, and now he trains my special needs daughter as well. We started at Kicking for Kids/NMMA because of their competitive terms compared to other martial arts studios in our area. We've stayed because of the family friendly atmosphere they've created over many years. The Taskers deserve a lot of credit for creating an environment where all kids are accepted and encouraged, especially in a world that can be a little cold. Tenets, begin! Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control

The Taskers are great! Our boys both attended the after school program while at SES, it’s super convenient and they’re always just a call or text away with any questions or concerns. Our middle school aged son is now part of the Leadership Program, it’s done wonders to boost his self confidence and teach him responsibility.

I can't say enough about this program and those who run it. It is the perfect program for those who want learn respect, and discipline all while learning self defence and becoming fit. My son has been in this program for 4 years and it has helped him tremendously with self confidence and strength. The staff at North Metro Martial Arts will go out of their way to ensure safety as well as fun! Lastly, this program is genuinely interested in making a positive impact on all those in the community. I have personally seen how much they give back to charities and the the special needs community. Our family

Coach Tasker and Jennifer Tasker have been a life saver for my family. My husband and I used to worry a lot about our boys and what we would do in regards to after school care. We have now been with North Metro for almost 3 years and we couldn't be happier. They love our boys and the boys love them. Thanks for all of your love and care!

We’ve had a son (4) and daughter (8) in the program for about a year and couldn’t be more impressed! The owners have a no nonsense, yet loving, approach to teaching the kids respect, discipline and confidence. It’s a family affair, with the owners children helping newcomers get acclimated and peers struggling with technique. Our kids have really enjoyed the program!

Scott Tasker is an excellent instructor. I have had the pleasure of training with him over the last few years and in that time I have viewed first hand, his ability to bring out the natural potential in his students no matter what their age or ability. He is very dedicated to his students and the quality of his instruction. Whether you are child, youth, teen, adult, elderly or live with special needs, Mr. Tasker is the instructor you want to work with you!
