Longoria's Black Belt Academy prides itself on providing your Karate Kid with the most professional Taekwondo instruction available.
"Every kid is a winner, Every kid is special"
This is not only our slogan, but it is our true philosophy. Developing your child's physical conditioning, flexibility and balance through the use of the martial arts is only half of our goal. Developing your child's mental discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem and respect for themselves and others is our biggest challenge. Teaching kids to kick and punch is not difficult. Teaching them why is the true challenge.
The Victory Patch & Star system is our solution to this challenge. This is how it works...we have four different Victory Patches:
White with "Blue" trim
