About Us
KHK was formed in January 2009 by Keith and Tonya Wahlbon to provide quality martial arts instruction free from the bounds of organized martial arts which trends are more toward the dollar than the traditional art form.
We provide a clean family rich environment for students of all ages to enjoy the traditional values of Taekwondo. We keep with tradition and only teach Taekwondo. No MMA, grappling or weapons are taught for rank advancement. We affiliate ourselves with the AAU for tournaments to provide our students an opportunity to feed their competitive nature. Everything we teach is based on the individual student. How far they go is up to them. Whether it takes 3 or 30 years to achieve their goal, we will be there every step of the way. Please note Taekwondo and weapons are taught separately and have individual rank requirements.
