Best Taekwondo School Palmdale Near Me

4worldlovers: AV Taekwondo Is the premier taekwondo school in the Antelope Valley, Serving the community for almost 10 years.

We have experience teaching both children and adults, along with special needs children, working with disabilities such as ADD, ADHD, and working with kids on various parts of the autism spectrum. Our goal is to teach the Korean martial art, Taekwondo, while also teaching life skills to help guide people to success in any aspect of their lives.

While self-defense techniques are often the first thought in choosing Taekwondo as a martial art, most students quickly discover the healthy fitness, positive attitudes and mental sharpness that come from physical training.

Both adults and children benefit by controlling weight, increasing strength, endurance and flexibility while gaining confidence from achieving greater respect for themselves and others. Imagine yourself or the child as a stronger, more confident individual in your best physical and mental shape.


Hi, my name is Master Brian, I am the founder of AV Taekwondo. I started my martial arts journey when I was 10 years old. The positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. I started helping out classes when I achieved my 1st degree black belt, and learned when I was 14 that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It has always been my dream to own my own Taekwondo School, and teach the values and principles that I learned when I was a child, to others. I continued to hone my Taekwondo skills training with several talented and well known Korean Taekwondo Masters and Grandmasters for more than 20 years.

I want to personally invite you to take advantage of our introductory trial offer and learn what all the buzz is about!

My journey into martial arts was not the typical path. When I became the guardian of my nephew for a time, I wanted to make sure that he would be able to get out and exercise, not just be stuck on video games. I found the American School of Martial arts and enrolled my nephew in a class along with several other sports. I saw the class building up his confidence and coordination. One of the parents suggested I join the adult class. When my nephew was able to go back home, I asked to switch over the account so I could take classes. I had never taken martial arts in my youth but if I had, I may not have found this place. I feel very lucky to have found a true martial art that includes techniques, hapkido, forms, tai chi, and chi kung. My journey may not have been typical, but it means anyone can do martial arts if they commit themselves to it. There’s a great saying “A black belt is a white belt that doesn’t quit” and I believe that to be my journey. It wasn’t always easy or comfortable but as our motto says, “Train only to master yourself”. I look forward to seeing you on that same journey.
