Martial arts is more than just an activity—it’s a life-changing experience. At Pro Martial Arts Canton, we help kids (and adults!) grow stronger, more focused, and more confident with every class.
But what makes our program especially powerful? The three traditional Korean martial arts styles we teach—each one offering something unique and amazing to our students.
Let’s break it down:
Tang Soo Do is a classical Korean martial art that combines the power of karate with the fluid movements of Chinese martial arts. It emphasizes:
Strong stances and striking techniques
Mental discipline and self-control
Respect for self and others
Tang Soo Do is the heart of our program, helping students develop precise technique, internal focus, and a deep appreciation for martial arts as a way of life.
Tae Kwon Do is probably the most well-known Korean martial art—and for good reason! It’s fast, high-energy, and full of explosive kicks and movements. Through Tae Kwon Do, students learn:
Incredible flexibility and agility
Powerful, controlled kicking techniques
Quick reflexes and sharp timing
This style helps build physical fitness, balance, and athletic confidence—perfect for kids with lots of energy or those looking to become more active and coordinated.
Hapkido adds a completely different element to our program. Unlike striking arts, Hapkido focuses more on:
Joint locks, throws, and pressure points
Self-defense and real-world application
Balance, redirection, and control of an opponent
It’s the perfect complement to the other two styles—helping students understand that strength isn’t always about power. Sometimes, it’s about control, confidence, and knowing how to stay safe and calm under pressure.
By blending Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, and Hapkido, we give our students a well-rounded martial arts education that develops:
✅ Speed and power
✅ Precision and discipline
✅ Real-world self-defense and awareness
✅ Inner strength, confidence, and respect
It’s more than just learning to punch and kick—it’s learning who you are and who you can become.
Whether your child is shy and looking for confidence, energetic and ready to move, or just looking for a place to belong, Pro Martial Arts Canton is the place to grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

We absolutely love PRO Martial Arts. They take very young kids and through play, teach them the fundamentals. The instructors give the kids exactly what they need, while still having fun. My son loves coming and can't wait to graduate from being a Little Rhino.
Mr P. goes above and beyond to welcome my 4 kids and make them feel comfortable, he creates a fun environment where my kids feel empowered & motivated. He & his wife Megan make us feel like family. They are awesome.
My daughter has been attending Pro Martial Arts Canton for their summer program. In the last couple of months she has gained confidence and discipline. The "stranger danger" exercises they teach the kids are fantastic. The instructors are amazing at wrangling a group of 4-5 year olds, keeping their attention and keeping them on task. The staff is always quick to respond to questions and is very friendly. Class times are convenient. Most importantly - my daughter LOVES going to her class and enjoys learning all the new things. The sense of pride she has when you she has completed an exercise correctly is so amazing to see!
