Who we are
At Elite Taekwondo Academy, we believe that true strength starts from within. Our Taekwondo program is designed not only to teach self-defense and martial arts skills but to build strong, resilient character.
Through discipline, respect, and perseverance, we guide our students to become the best versions of themselves — both inside and outside the dojang. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, our classes foster personal growth, confidence, and focus.
Join a community where your journey is about more than mastering kicks and punches—it's about becoming a better, stronger, and more respectful individual.
Meet The MAsters
Master
Avila
Master Avila has been practicing martial arts since 1986, studying under Korean masters for more than 30 years. He holds a 5th degree Black Belt in Taekwondo certified by the Kukkiwon, the World Taekwondo headquarters in Seoul, Korea. With over 25 years of teaching experience, he has mentored generations of students, and he considers it a true privilege to watch them grow.
Master
Vo
Master K, as the students call him, has been part of the Elite family for over 20 years. While earning his degree at San Jose State University and working in finance, he still made time to volunteer as a coach for our Competition Sparring team. We’re thrilled to have him back at the studio as a full-time instructor, where he brings that same energy and care to every class.
Master
Karunamoorthy
Master Vo began studying martial arts at a young age and carried his passion into college at UC Davis, where he was a leader in the Taekwondo program. After taking a break to build his career and family, he found his way back to the mat when his own children started at Elite. Today he leads our Competition Sparring program as its director.
