Master Kwon's Tiger Kicks Martial Arts

Master Kwon's Tiger Kicks teaches taekwondo and karate in Kirkland, and the school describes itself as having grown out of a martial arts club. Its taekwondo classes draw on several disciplines and build responsive techniques for real-life threatening situations, drilled through repetitive motions with intent and realistic simulation until they turn into muscle memory and instinct. The school describes its approach as using “the scientific study of human movement and the nervous system” to combine martial arts and self-defense.

Among its credentials the school names a 5th-degree black belt from the Korea Hapkido Association, a 6th-degree black belt from the World Taekwondo Federation and over 35 years of experience. There are classes for adults, children and families, plus in-person karate classes and black belt classes, for students of all ages and skill levels. The school says it teaches “traditional values to all students.”

Class times, prices, a trial class and the instructors' names aren't given, so a phone call to the school is the way to learn when classes meet and how a first class works.
