Our Story

Explore our Milestones, growth and achievements throughout our journey

Our School first opened its doors in March of 1994. From meagre beginnings of 12 dedicated students, and 6 instructors we have grown to become the largest group of martial arts school in Southern Alberta.

In 2002, we purchased and renovated a fantastic facility with approx. 7000 square feet, in a central location on a major east-west thoroughfare in Lethbridge, Alberta (1236 3rd Avenue South).

The building now houses a world class martial arts facility, complete with two training floors, air conditioning, a warm up area complete with training apparatus, spectator seating, a pro-shop area, office space, change rooms complete with showers and lockers. It also serves as the headquarters of United Traditional Tae Kwon-Do Canada.

Our owners, Grand Masters Darin Gibson and Colin Nonomura, have each reached the highest rank (9Th Dan) in Tae Kwon-Do. They were promoted by Pioneer Grand Master C.K. Choi who introduced the art to Canada in 1970.

‍

In 2015 Gibson and Nonomura were inducted into the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame for their commitment and dedication to promoting Tae Kwon-Do in Canada and around the world.

Our competitve teams have performed at the highest levels including making the podium at 5 different World Championship Competitions.
