Ohanamalu Tae Kwon Do is different.

Like most martial arts programs, we promote strength, speed, and power. We pursue form and function with dedication and intensity, and prepare our minds and bodies to encounter the world in which we live.

The difference is that we strive to do so in an atmosphere of healing, play, and love. We believe that self defense is best practiced as a desire for peace rather than a preparation for combat.

We also believe that no one should be left behind. With our Inner City Programs, we’re working hard to bring positive, encouraging martial arts experiences to youth in Buffalo’s inner city!

Taught by an Iraq War Veteran and long time advocate of peace and spiritual development, Ohanamalu Tae Kwon Do seeks to empower its students with the true spirit of the martial artist:

Endless peace emanating from an indomitable spirit!
