I have been training in Taekwondo for 40 years and I can say without a doubt Master Whitworth is one of the best Master Instructors I have had the pleasure of watching him teach. His knowledge of Taekwondo is second to none.

I moved away from my home state where I had been doing taekwondo for 13 years. I thought I was going to have to give up taekwondo for good when I got in contact with Master Joe. It has now been a year at NWBBA I can say, without a doubt, I have truly found my family and home.

If you want quality Taekwondo training, come see Master Joe Whitworth at Northwest Black Belt Academy. There are many facets to TKD, both the martial art and the sport, but there is a quality that Master Joe brings that takes NWBBA to the next level. My daughter has been learning TKD since she was five, and started training at NWBBA since she was 9. Master Joe has been able to help her grow into a strong young lady, he is able to light that spark to bring out her best effort and attitude on the mat, but it carries over into everyday life. He teaches Respect, Courage, Courtesy, Humility, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control, and Indomitable Spirit through example. Check it out, you will be glad you did.

Great place for kids to learn respect and self confidence. Highly recommended!

Great School, upbeat and well organized. Student learn a lot of things here: Courage, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, Indominable Spirit!
