Martial arts classes for young children are as much about play as they are about learning. The classes help students discover martial arts in a fun and informative way while teaching coordination, self-control, responsibility, and healthy play habits. Students are able to learn many things at this age as the focus is not on belt rank, but on healthy development.
Our Omaha Blue Waves HKD program is one of the most unique in Omaha. We draw from a number of Hapkido styles to create a useful blend of techniques that are both self-defense and traditionally oriented. The students focus on real life self-defense rather than competitive sports training. Come and train with us and still enjoy work tomorrow.

Great family run organization and excellent teaching team. We have been involved for a few months to date and have enjoyed the training, fitness and confidence gained through Omaha Blue Waves. My kids started lessons and shortly after I was training as well. There is something for all ages and abilities. Check them out if you are or ever have been remotely interested in martial arts training.

Omaha Blue Waves goes above and beyond to provide high quality martial arts training. Their passion and dedication has had an impact on individuals around the country. If you are fortunate enough to live in the Omaha area I highly recommend enrolling in their programs and if you live far, I recommend their annual events.

Knowledgeable, patient, and fun instructors! This place offers exciting skill-based martial arts classes for a wide age range. It’s definitely a great family oriented program, where the emphasis is on the entire martial arts journey rather than just a belt color. Everyone at OBW is very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The fitness classes at OBW are also great. These classes will not only challenge you, but will also keep you motivated! I highly recommend Omaha Blue Waves!

My family has been been involved with Omaha Blue Waves for over 6 years. My kids and I are are martial arts students and my wife takes fitness classes and gets regular massages. This is a great family owned business and all their instructors are knowledgeable and patient. All their memberships are month-to-month, so you are never locked into a contract.

I am continually impressed with all aspects of my Sons personal development since he started taking classes at Omaha Blue Waves. He’s been involved in other sports, and though he enjoyed them, the lessons he learned never extended much past the physical activity. The classes at Omaha Blue Waves reinforce respect, courtesy, self-control and personal responsibility. Having just come from my Son’s parent teacher conference, I'm pleased to say those lessons have followed him into the schoolroom.
All that being said, my Son loves taking classes at Omaha Blue Waves and he’s always happy to see

Omaha Blue Waves is a wonderful place for martial arts, fitness and massage. My son started Tae Kwon Do here in September of 2011, I started fitness classes in January of 2012, have done both group classes and private fitness training as well as massage therapy. Fun classes in an awesome family environment and all of the instructors really care about the students both young and adult. They want to see people succeed no matter what their goals. I cannot imagine my son or myself going anywhere else.

Omaha Blue Waves is one of the premier organizations in the area. The martial arts program focuses on the students and learning, not just a belt mill. My family has been associated with OBW for over 7 years and will be life-long members. The owners/staff is exceptional and treats everyone as member of their family. It has been a privilege to be associated with Omaha Blue Waves.
If you have an interest in martial arts, wanting personalized attention to reach fitness goals, or need a great massage, Omaha Blue Waves is the place to be.

Our family of four has been taking martial arts classes at Omaha Blue Waves for over two years. In that time we have enjoyed the best martial arts instruction available in Omaha. OBW doesn't just teach self-defense... the instructors there are committed to helping each student grow as a person and member of the community. Give it a try, you will be very pleased with the experience at Omaha Blue Waves!
