The Five Tenets

What we train into every student

General Choi Hong Hi codified five tenets as the moral backbone of Taekwondo. We open every class by naming one.

  1. 01

    Ye Ui 예의 — Courtesy

    Show respect and consideration for others, on and off the mat.

  2. 02

    Yom Chi 염치 — Integrity

    Know right from wrong, and stand by it even when no one is watching.

  3. 03

    In Nae 인내 — Perseverance

    Push through difficulty until practice quietly becomes progress.

  4. 04

    Guk Gi 극기 — Self-Control

    Master your reactions before you ever master your kicks.

  5. 05

    Baekjul Boolgool 백절불굴 — Indomitable Spirit

    Get back up every time the mat puts you down. No exceptions.

Curriculum Board

Classes by age & belt level

Lil' Dragons train on their own. From seven up, everyone trains together in the class that matches their belt.

Class Ages Focus Belts
Lil' Dragons 4–6 Thirty focused minutes — motor skills, listening, and confidence through games-based movement.
Beginner 7+ White belts. Stances, basic blocks and kicks, and the dojang etiquette that carries into school.
Intermediate 7+ Yellow and green belts. Kicking combinations, forms, and structured belt testing.
Advanced 7+ Blue, red and black belts. Sparring, weapons, leadership, and the road to black belt.
All Belts 7+ Saturday mornings. Every rank on the mat together — conditioning, sparring and open review.

The Belt Journey

The path to black belt

Belt promotions are earned through consistent effort, attendance, skill development, knowledge, and positive character. Two rank systems run side by side — one for Lil' Dragons, one for everyone from seven up.

Meet the Instructor

The person teaching the forms

  • Master Morgan Hubbard 5th-Degree Black Belt · Owner & Head Instructor

    Master Morgan Hubbard began training in Taekwondo as a teenager after experiencing bullying and wanting the confidence to protect himself and others. Martial arts helped him become more confident, and ultimately became a lifelong calling.

    Now a 5th-degree black belt, Master Hubbard has spent years teaching children, teens, and adults. As owner and head instructor, his goal is to give students the guidance, encouragement, and structure they need to grow both on and off the mats.

Stories, not just stats

Master Hubbard taught for years at Evolution Martial Arts in Puyallup before opening his own school. These are from the families who trained with him there.

  • “Master Hubbard is a very talented instructor! Our entire family attends his classes weekly and it is challenging, engaging and fun for all of us! I highly encourage anyone looking to begin Tae Kwon Do or people who are already very experienced to visit this location and speak with Master Hubbard!”

    A family who trained with Master Hubbard

  • “Our son truly enjoyed his time with Evolution martial arts. His teacher, Master Hubbard was truly great with our son. He made accommodations to meet my son’s physical needs, which allowed him to be participate and still be independent.”

    Parent of a young student

  • “I have two sons who have been doing the Northwest fit kids program for quite a few years now, and we just hopped over to Taekwondo! They absolutely love it! Not only are they learning how to control their bodies, they’re getting energy out, learning a little Korean, and learning about the values of taekwondo.”

    Parent of two students
