Jeremy was the best Tae Kwon Do instructor for us growing up! My sister & I were blessed to have Jeremy train us all the way up to our first degree black belts. He always kept us laughing & helped pave such incredible memories from our childhood. Jeremy is the kind of man that brings light into everyone's lives.
Here you will find info on curriculum, terminology and philosophy, and links to other amazing resources like printable instructions, tips and tricks to improve your training, video tutorials, and more! The belts levels at DMA are laid out in such a way that allows younger students the time needed to develop as a martial artist while still having opportunities to earn new belts.

Jeremy was our instructor for 7 years. My oldest son started at age 5 and earned his BB at age 11. You will not find an instructor who cares more about his students than Jeremy. He not only taught my boys martial arts skills but life skills that have carried on into their adult lives. We can't say enough things about Jeremy

Jeremy is s gentle giant who knows how to get the best out of kids. He teaches them respect by how he treats them and they in turn have a deep respect for him. He is able to inspire them to be their best and gets them motivated through kind leadership. My daughter has been instructed by him for the last 5 years and she adores him. He is one of her heroes. Can't say enough about him as a mentor and martial arts instructor.

I've been in martial arts for over 30 years, and known Jeremy for the last 10 of that. I can honestly say, he is one of the best martial art teachers I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY teachers. Not only does he know his stuff forward and backward, but he knows the whys, hows, and whens. Technically his form is excellent, and in all those 10 years I've never stumped him with a question. But, let's be honest- that's only 1/2 of being a martial arts teacher. Jeremy is also just a plain old great person. He takes special care with not only students, but with parents or anybody else in the school.

Master Jeremy does an amazing job engaging with students and pushing them to grow in a positive way. In six months our son has developed so much focus, respect, self-control, and it's his first experience appreciating something with long term goals and rewards. All of that growth has been facilitated by the amazing instruction.

I had the incredible good fortune to meet KGN Jeremy over 9 years ago and began my journey as a martial artist. I became a black belt under his guidance and instruction; and this year my son will earn his 1st degree as well. My oldest son started training at 3 years old. Now, all 4 of my kids are growing as martial artist. They are strong, kind and extremely confident young people. None of this would have been possible without KGN Jeremy's ability to make anyone confident they can learn and achieve remarkable things in their lives. Jeremy is always friendly, positive and welcoming to everyone.

I cannot recommend Dynamic Martial Arts and KGN Jeremy Smith enough. I started martial arts in 2007 at the young age of 44. I started out for exercise and conditioning but quickly made some lifelong friends. Under the instruction of Jeremy, I learned the proper techniques of martial arts as well as the art. Jeremy is an amazing instructor and person. With his kindness and knowledge, he made class fun but challenging. In 2010 I earned by first degree black belt, an adventure I will always cherish and never forget. I never could have achieved this without the instruction, kindness and dedication
