Thank you for your interest in Pruter's U.S. Martial Arts and Sport Taekwondo, the area's premiere martial arts school, serving Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Odessa, and Independence Missouri. Our original location began in Liberty Missouri in 1981 and expanded through out the Missouri side of the Kansas City suburbs.
Why is our martial arts school growing? Because we have realized that teaching martial arts is a gift and that our Taekwondo School is not about us, the instructors, but the students. No matter what body style God has given to you, Pruter's U.S. Martial Arts can teach you Taekwondo. Come and see! We invite you to visit a Pruter's U.S. Martial Arts location near you. In our schools you will see people just like you experiencing the benefits that come from learning the martial arts while having a great time doing so.
Our art and original foundation is Taekwondo, a Korean form of Karate. However, more important then the particular style you choose, (Taekwondo, Hapkido, Karate, Judo, etc.), is the organization and the quality of instruction.
At Pruter's U.S. Martial Arts and Sport Taekwondo you will find an organization that is well established in the communities we serve, and the instruction you will receive is of the highest quality. Our strengths are in the leaders we develop, and the students we teach. So this is our personal invitation to you. We invite men, women and children, both individually and as a family to come and experience the best that we have to offer. Thank you for visiting PrutersTKD.us, and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
