Welcome to Quest Taekwondo! Minimize

A Premier Martial Arts School

Quest Taekwondo is conveniently located in the South Bay that offers world class instruction with a heart. We opened our doors in September of 2006 with the aim of taking martial arts instruction to a higher level. Taekwondo is not just the art of kicking and punching, but it also teaches and instills important life skills in all its practitioners.

At Quest, our goal is to develop strong minds, body and spirit through the practice of Taekwondo. Our Quest is to build a better community, one Black Belt at a time.

 

The Quest Difference

Quest Taekwondo has been voted “Best Martial Arts School”, four consecutive years by the Daily Breeze “Best of South Bay” Reader’s Poll for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.  This is a testament to our commitment in providing the community with quality martial arts instruction.

 

 

Quest also prides itself by being a family oriented martial arts school. There is a strong sense of family and community at Quest which fosters a sense of belonging for each student. Students work together, encourage and support each other, and celebrate each other’s successes.

Our unique strength at Quest Taekwondo is our instructors and staff.  Quest Taekwondo is the only school in the South Bay with instructors that have competed and won in International level competitions such as the Olympics, World Championships, Asian Games, Asian Championships, Southeast Asian Games and Southeast  Asian Championships. Because Quest instructors have such a passion and great love for Taekwondo, they are able to impact and share their knowledge and enthusiasm with each and every student. This is the true heart of Quest Taekwondo.


Quest's Biannual In-House Tournament

September 18,2010

Sign-up Sheets and Entry Forms are available at the Office. Entry fee is $35 for all 3 events: Sparring, Poomsae & Breaking, and includes a free Quest t-shirt. For those who are competing  in the Jimmy Kim Tournament  (Oct. 2) and the California Open (Oct. 23),  this is a good time to train and prepare. While you're at it, we encourage you to learn, memorize, and put to heart your Student Creed.

STUDENT CREED


Line 1

I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that could reduce my mental growth and my physical health.

Line 2

I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out

the best in myself and others.

Line 3

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively to help myself and my fellow man and never be abusive or offensive.

Line 4

I shall respect my parents and seniors and always abide by the Black belt creed.

As dedicated student of Quest Taekwondo, I shall live by the principles of the Black belt creed:

SELF-CONFIDENCE

MODESTY

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT

PERSEVERANCE

ETTIQUETTE ,  Sir

Before bowing out:

We are a Black Belt school!

We are Motivated!

We are Dedicated!

We’re on a Quest to be our Best!

QUEST TAEKWONDO BLACKBELT … ONE MIND!!!
