So Much More Than Punches & Kicks. Changed Lives!
Taekwondo is not just another martial arts program – at least not here at Summit. We strive to create an environment of positivity, learning, and fun, wrapped up in a welcoming and supportive community. We are dedicated to fostering growth in your child, while pursuing growth in ourselves as well.
Join the hundreds of parents here in Mason City who can’t believe the incredible transformation in their child and in their family.
So Much FUN! While Teaching Respect, Discipline & Focus!
We encourage our students to showcase the qualities of a “black belt leader,” whether that is listening on the mat, keeping hands to themselves, showing good sportsmanship, or being helpful at home. As a result, kids learn and develop strong, healthy boundaries.
We even give parents the opportunity to “catch” their kids being good and brag on them in class, helping to build their self-esteem and encourage positive behaviors.
This is one reason parents LOVE our Preschool Martial Arts Program.
Prepares Your Child For Success In Life.
Kids who train in martial arts have a higher success rate in school. Why? Discipline, focus, goal setting, and drive. Taekwondo instills these incredible traits in your child, every time they come to class. We believe these skills will help your child build a firm foundation for future success in school and beyond.
That’s what makes our Mason City Tiny Tiger Classes so powerful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Children's Martial Arts Program
A specific part of our preschool and kids’ martial arts classes at Summit Martial Arts in Mason City is teaching self defense skills, in which we remind our students that these skills are primarily to help them get safely away and to a trusted adult. We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness in their interactions with peers.
We don’t require parents to stay during classes. If you need some ‘me-time,’ to run errands, or take another child to a different activity, you are welcome to drop your child off, and do what you need. Your child will be safe in our gym and will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!
However, it can be fun to watch your child grow in skill and confidence, to learn with them, and to be able to refer back to conversations started in class (particularly about life skills). Plus, we believe you will find the community of parents and families here are some of the best in the area. We are so proud of the family atmosphere here and encourage you to become a part of it, if it works for your schedule.
Make sure your child wears comfortable clothes they can move in! (Skirts and jeans can make kicks rather difficult/uncomfortable.😳)
Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. We always say that “Not drinking water doesn’t make you cool; it just makes you dehydrated.” We do also have a water fountain for your convenience.
Otherwise, we should have everything here that you need to enjoy your first lesson!
Yes! We strive to be a safe space for our neurodivergent friends and those of various abilities, believing that Taekwondo will improve their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They won’t even realize it! They just think they are having fun!
The best way to find out for yourself is to take advantage of our free intro lesson, at which time your specific concerns can be better addressed, and our limited time offer (5 Weeks of Instruction for $55!). Our team is dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book now! You will be glad you did!
We encourage parents to watch their children participate in Taekwondo whenever possible. It means the world to kids to know their parents/adults are watching, seeing them do amazing things. Feel free to take pictures and videos, to share them with friends and family. (Please know that our staff photographer will also be in the gym some evenings, snapping photos during for use on our social media – give us a follow to see if your child is featured!).
If, after watching for awhile, you find you can no longer resist the fun, please consider signing up as well, training alongside your child or in either of our adult classes (affectionately nicknamed, “Mom Class” and “Dad Class” – but for any adult who wishes to train, regardless of parenthood-status). Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!
Not at all. You will find that Taekwondo classes are the PERFECT sport for kids (or adults) who are not naturally athletic, who feel clumsy or uncoordinated in other sports. Our instructors break down the moves in an easy-to-understand way, give them funny names (to make them easier to remember), and help each student gradually build muscle and coordination, balance and confidence.
The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same for everyone is the benefits to motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they will make lots of great friends!
This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit around a lot!
Getting them active and building healthier habits without them realizing, is one of our staffs’ super powers. Making movement non-threatening and fun, helping students learn to make adjustments/adapt when their bodies aren’t able to do something yet, helping kids develop a sense of humor about themselves, to celebrate small wins/growth – all are priorities for our staff.
More than just physical benefits, though, we believe Taekwondo is great for the mental health of children and adults as well. Kicking and punching pads is a great stress relief, cathartic almost, for people of all ages who are carrying more and more in their personal lives. Plus, with our emphasis on “repping it out,” or repeatedly training difficult moves, we strive to improve the frustration tolerance of our students as well.
Many Mason City parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You’ll be glad they started classes!
