Before I started martial arts training I came out on the wrong end of a confrontation. Hoping to learn from my mistakes, I started training in the martial arts and I soon fell in love. My martial arts journey has been one of the most profound experiences of my life, allowing me to travel and make friends around the world.
When I opened my school in 1970, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Terre Haute by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, training and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

Cheif Master is a wonderful teacher. My son is 7 and absolutely loves going to class here. He attended his first regional ATA tournament this weekend and all Cheif masters student did great!
They have been in… business for years and for good reason. COVID has affected them like any business. But if you are looking to take taekwondo lessons I highly recommend them. Cheif Master Minton teaches every class. He has several black belt leaders that assist him in class. It’s fabulous. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Update once the review ran it was quickly resolved however I would still not sign a contract here. Horrible! His wife was sweet as pie until we signed the papers. Due to Covid-19 they cancelled classes and she stated we still needed to pay because “they have to pay the bills. This was $133.00 a month for a year. I would not go here!!! Save your money. While my husband and I waited in the lobby she was talking about people who call for information and then don’t come in. Do Not Sign anything!!!! Run

This place has been excellent for my child. There are clear class rules and expectations for good behavior, which students are kindly and patiently helped to meet. Chief Master Minton helps students practice persistence, determination, respect for others, and mental focus as well as athletic development. His self-defense lessons are extremely practical and useful, without being scary to young children. I believe this studio takes as much pride in the first time a shy student volunteers to lead a class exercise as they do when students win tournament championships. If you are looking for someone

My mom and dad bought me a membership when I was 5 for my birthday so around 87 back when he had his old place on Lafayette. I was with him when they moved to the new building I got my black belt with him. But I noticed towards the end of my time there they started to play favorites I got held back a lot so others could move up! And I went to a… tournament in matoon Illinois and during my sparring event I fell and hurt my knee pretty bad nobody called to check on me when I went back in there with a brace on my leg they could have cared less after that I quit there and went to Skelton&rsquo

High quality of training. We have been to other trainers and my children are happy with this more intense training. Chief Master Minton is very experienced and knowledgeable and perfect with little ones. Some may complain about the money spent but you get what you pay for and this is worth it! Mrs. Minton friendly and tries to do what’s best for each individual family to make them happy. This couple has been very successful for many years and have outdone all the stresses and tension of owning your own business! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. , your someone to look up to for these young ones and a fine

I trained under Chief Master Minton in the early 80s and I am honored to have my grandson training under him now. He is very good with children and his program is so much more thorough nowadays. My grand sons behavior and grades have improved dramatically over the last few months. He is learning courtesy,integrity,perseverance,self-control and indomitable spirit.I look forward to watching him train to becomes a black belt and am proud that he will be a part of this great instructors legacy.

They do a decent job teaching the kids, but in the end...it's all about the money for them. When it was time to renew my son's contract, they hiked the price up by 120%, and we couldn't afford it. They did everything in their power to keep my 6 yr/old son from doing Tae-kwon-do anywhere else that was more affordable. Very sad and disappointing.
