About our school

Summit Martial Arts is dedicated to bettering our community one person at a time through martial arts, education and coaching. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members in Mason City, where they can learn not only physical skills but also life skills, like respect and self-discipline.

We strongly believe that martial arts is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience level. Whether training as Tiny Tigers (ages 3-6) or in one of our adult classes, our students master Taekwondo forms, earn belts, break boards, learn weapons’ skills, and/or have the opportunity to compete locally, regionally, or in Worlds Competitions in Phoenix each summer.  They also grow in confidence, learn to set goals and achieve them – in the gym, school, work, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers about our Martial Arts Programs

A specific part of our martial arts classes at Summit Martial Arts in Mason City is teaching respect, and teaching when to use their new self defense training and when NOT to use it. We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies, and have more humility and kindness to others though their martial arts lessons.

We encourage parents to watch their children train!  We love when parents are in the gym, proud of their kids, and knowledgeable in what they are learning – and so do their kids.   We also love the community of parents on the sidelines, who bond with each other and support each other’s families. 

Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults or participate right alongside them in Basic Class. Your kids will love that you have something in common.  We often say that families that kick together, stick together!

But, we also understand if you want some ‘me-time.’ Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!

No, not at all! People of all abilities, ages and fitness levels are welcome to participate in our classes!  We will offer adaptations to drills as necessary as you begin, focus on stretching to protect your body and joints, and celebrate your growth every step of the way!  We believe Taekwondo is a great way to improve your overall fitness, flexibility, and mental health and that Mason City martial arts classes provide the safety, fun and community workout that will help you achieve your fitness goals results!

Truthfully, the journey to black belt is an individual one. Everyone can progress at a different pace. There is no judgement on students for how long it does take. What we can tell you, is that it is SO WORTHWHILE!

The benefits of striving for black belt, like perseverance, endurance, commitment and self discipline lead to life-long success.

You will find that your Instructors at Summit Martial Arts Mason City are dedicated to helping you on your journey to black belt or whatever your personal goal may be.

Or, if you would rather, feel free to call us, we would love to chat with you about what we do, and if our Mason City martial arts classes would be a good fit for you and your family!

Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can move in! It is difficult to practice kicks in jeans and/or skirts.😳

Feel free to bring a water bottle to your classes as well, and know that we have a water fountain for you to refill as needed.

You will find Summit Martial Arts in Mason City have martial arts classes for kids and adults that are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!

Not at all. Many of our adult students would describe themselves as clumsy or not particularly gifted athletically; in fact, many cite this as a reason it took them so long to sign up. Let us be the first to encourage you – do not let this fear keep you from beginning your Taekwondo journey!

Give yourself some grace, some time in our supportive environment, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! Our experienced martial arts instructors are trained to help you, no matter how coordinated or not you are, to grow in skill, in balance, in strength – and to have fun doing it!
