Who We Are
At Georgia Elite Taekwondo (GETKD), we are committed to empowering our community through the art of Taekwondo. Since 2016, we have grown from a small group of 8 students to a thriving school of 65, serving the Forest Park community in Clayton County. Our passion for martial arts goes beyond physical training—we aim to develop confident leaders and build a positive impact in the lives of all our students and their families.
Our Vision
Georgia Elite Taekwondo strives to deliver a progressive martial arts program by blending traditional and sport Taekwondo with essential life skills. Our goal is to provide a safe haven where students experience mental and physical peace, growth, and development. We achieve this through the core tenets of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit, guiding our students on a journey toward becoming the best versions of themselves.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make a difference in our community by offering world-class Taekwondo instruction in a safe, positive, and creative learning environment. We are dedicated to teaching martial arts at an affordable price, lowering barriers for families and individuals to access high-quality training. Our curriculum is designed to help parents raise confident leaders and to support adults in achieving their fitness and personal growth goals. We aim to be a cornerstone for the community, using martial arts as a vehicle for personal empowerment and community mobilization.
