David Himebaugh started Northwest Taekwondo Academy at the Hub in Liberty Lake in 2017. He is a 3rd Degree Kukkiwon Certified Black Belt in taekwondo, has trained in taekwondo, hapkido, judo and kenpo karate for more than three decades, and is SafeSport certified. He teaches youth and adults.
Classes are grouped by belt. White and yellow belts ages 8 and up have a beginners-only class on Mondays, white through green belts train together on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and blue, purple and red/black belts have an advanced class on Tuesdays. On Thursday evenings there's an advanced class for adults only. A sparring class meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month for a separate fee. Kids ages 4 to 7 have their own Mitey Mites classes.
The first class is free. The instructor asks new students to send a message before registering. Whether an adult beginner joins the Monday class or the white-to-green group is a good thing to settle in that first message. The academy sells uniforms (dobok). It closes for the last two weeks of August each year.
- Beginners-only Monday class for white and yellow belts, ages 8 and up
- Mitey Mites classes for ages 4 to 7 on Tuesdays and Thursdays
- Sparring class on the first and third Wednesday of each month
Kids and juniors at Northwest Taekwondo Academy
Mitey Mites (ages 4 to 7) train on Tuesdays and Thursdays in a half-hour class. From age 8, children move into the belt-rank classes: the Monday class for white and yellow belts, the Tuesday and Thursday class for white through green belts, and the advanced Tuesday class for blue belts and up.
The academy puts the reasons in plain terms: children learn a martial art “to do something fun, learn a new skill, do something different from their friends,” and parents choose it “for self confidence, self discipline, self control, and for a fun activity.” Children can start with the free class too.
