OUR STORY

Welcome to Master Nam's
Taekwondo

“Strong empathy. High integrity. I teach my students the same values I expect from every instructor, so they grow into citizens our community can count on.”

— Master Nam, Founder
Founded in 2003, Master Nam's Taekwondo serves families across Welland, Fonthill, Pelham, Port Colborne, Fort Erie and Niagara Falls. Every instructor here must lead with strong empathy and high integrity. We teach our children the same, so they grow into model citizens who truly help our community. That is what Think and Act with Consistency and Discipline means.

Master Nam's decade-long volunteer service with local law enforcement enriches our training at Master Nam's Taekwondo. While serving the community, he builds relationships with city service members and gains valuable insights into public safety. This includes critical issues such as social media luring, bullying prevention, and the importance of safety practices like wearing helmets on bike rides. Master Nam integrates these lessons into our programs, so our members feel secure and protected. Through this approach, we cultivate responsible martial artists equipped to lead and protect within their communities.

Five-star rating

I highly recommend Welland Taekwondo to everyone. Master Nam teaches not just Taekwondo, but crucial life skills like respect, integrity, and empathy. The community there feels like an extended family, thanks to Master Nam and his family's passion and dedication. Thank you for your teachings!

Five-star rating

I've known Master Nam for quite a few years now but only recently started training in Taekwondo. I think he is an excellent teacher and is awesome with the kids. This is a great group to be a part of and I would recommend it to anyone of any age.

Five-star rating

Welland Taekwondo is more then just learning martial arts, its really like a family! Everyday Master Nam pushes us because he knows we can do things that our mind says we cant. Then one day you arrive there full of confidence because you know you got this!
