Kicks & Kindness —
Taekwondo for All
At EMAT, Taekwondo isn’t just about kicks and forms — it’s about building character, confidence, and community.
Led by Master Saturday, EMAT provides a disciplined yet welcoming space where every student is treated with respect and equality. Whether your child is outgoing or more reserved, they’ll feel like part of the team from day one. Master Saturday has a unique way of bringing everyone together — encouraging effort, teamwork, and growth without leaving anyone behind.
Jay and Jordan have both found joy and stability through their Taekwondo journey here, and as a mom of two autistic boys, I’ve deeply appreciated the structure, fairness, and natural sense of belonging EMAT offers.
This isn’t a traditional classroom — and Master Saturday isn’t just an instructor. He’s a strong, steady presence who leads with purpose and heart, creating a place where kids can build physical skills and life confidence in a supportive environment.
