Welcome to Elite Martial Arts Academy where we build martial arts athletes and champions for the game of life!  We are located in beautiful Scotts Valley, California, in the Kmart Shopping Center off of Mt. Hermon Rd.  At Elite, we teach much more than just karate classes, we cultivate an attitude of Constant and Never Ending Improvement.  Our students range in age from 3 to 60+.  Our goal is to grow strong kids into successful adults and we offer adult students an opportunity and environment to recognize the value of a mentally and physically active lifestyle, an important part of a long and enjoyable life.  Whether you are seeking to help your child find self-confidence or self-discipline, wanting to gain self-defense skills for yourself, or hoping to get fit, you will find something at Elite to help you reach your goal.  Please explore our site to learn more about our Academy or give us a call to arrange a free introductory consultation to learn more about our programs.

What We Offer:  Our Traditional Korean Martial Art is the perfect blend of Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, Kung Fu and Boxing.  Our little Dragons stick to the basics learning fundamental motor and social skills while having fun and working on fitness.  Above all,  we pride ourselves on our trained and certified black belt instructors teaching great classes every single day where our students smile, sweat and learn.

Physically I am doing great. My body…is looking almost exactly the way I want it, and feels even better! Mentally I am more confident…more respectful of others. My favorite part of training at Elite is the great friends and families I have met who make it comfortable to be me and help me be the best person I can be.”
