TAEKWONDO IS A WAY OF LIFE
When starting Taekwondo training, one quickly realizes that it is more than just an activity. Taekwondo is a way of life, in your manner and action. The Tenets of Taekwondo, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit take on new meaning as you train and gain a greater understanding of the art and of the tenets that have been recited for thousands of years, by millions of martial artists.

The art of Taekwondo will help you build an inner strength through physical training. Understanding one’s physical capabilities allows for kindness and understanding within yourself, bringing peace to your life. The development of your inner strength will heighten your ability to face the day-to-day struggles of life with confidence.

Our School
We pride ourselves on being a home for fun, exciting Taekwondo training in Kissimmee and St. Cloud that teaches students discipline. Our mission is to build good people who have well-rounded self-defense skills and understand and appreciate the art of Taekwondo. This is why we teach traditional values in martial arts. Students are taught to treat their instructors and peers with courtesy, including bowing as a sign of respect. While showcasing the art of Taekwondo is important, we believe personal growth is even more essential. Our instructors make sure to teach lessons so students develop the discipline to become better people on and off the mat. We strive to make you the best you can be in all aspects of life at Emmons’ Taekwondo Academy!
History
November 1990 was the beginning of a wonderful journey for us at Emmons’ Taekwondo Academy! John Emmons opened our Kissimmee/St. Cloud Taekwondo academy and never looked back. Our story began in his garage, where Mr. Emmons first trained his deputies for self-defense, but he knew more people could benefit. That’s when he opened up the academy to the public in Gold’s Gym. From there, we quickly grew. By 1995, we had five locations and over 550 students in Central Florida. Mr. Emmons eventually scaled back, wanting to provide students personable, detailed training. He sold academies to some students and resumed his role as the Chief Instructor in Kissimmee/St. Cloud. Today, we continue our pursuit to create lifelong connections, teach students self-defense, and build better people through Taekwondo.
Whats Sets Us Apart
For more than three decades Emmons’ Taekwondo Academy has served as a place for anyone to come in and train. The culture, curriculum, and experience we gained throughout the years have created an environment where people thrive through expert teaching and supportive peers. This is all just of the few things that make us stand out from other schools. Check out what we pride ourselves on and why you can choose us as a new home for Taekwondo training!
We live and breathe Taekwondo. John Emmons brought the martial art to his lifelong hometown in 1990 and has made the academy a staple of the community for more than 35 years. We continue to do everything we can to help the people of Kissimmee and St. Cloud!
Emmons’ Taekwondo Academy is a place for the whole family. And not just parents, kids, and siblings! We have multiple generations of families from grandparents to grandkids putting in work on the mats. We pride ourselves on bringing entire families together to train and grow!
We stay aligned with the traditional martial arts values. This includes bowing, saying “yes sir, no sir” and showing respect for every person in the academy. We believe this helps teach students lessons that last a lifetime as well as enhances their experience on the mat.
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. These are the Five Tenets of Taekwondo, which we practice every day. Students are taught what they mean and how they can apply them to their daily lives.
Academy owner John Emmons brings in a wealth of experience as a retired police officer. He passes down lessons he learned physically and mentally on the force to help students with their self-defense awareness and their mental fortitude.
The school books guest instructors to show different perspectives and philosophies to maximize experience and knowledge of students. We also unite the community with holiday celebrations, birthday parties, tournaments, and unique seminars!
