Welcome to Mr. Cruz 's Taekwondo and Self Defense School

About Us

Adult and Children Classes Available

Taekwondo is a Korean form of martial arts that has been associated with Increased Flexibility, Improved Focus, Heightened Self Confidence, and Better Cognitive Functioning.

Senior Master Cruz is a 7th Dan Black Belt who specializes in working with adults and children of all ages and abilities in Green Valley, Arizona.

Beginners & Intermediate Taekwondo Class

This class is designed for ages 4 and older and is a perfect place to start to introduce your young child to Taekwondo or continue in your martial arts training.

The students will go on a journey with Master Cruz, as they learn to-

Develop and improve their cognitive ability, physical development, and social skills.
Build up focus, discipline, and listening skills which will apply to what is done in class, as well as at home.
Identify right and wrong through character building.
Recognize their right and left sides.
Engage in physical activity to build up their strength and endurance.
Form a personal awareness of Stranger Danger.
Be introduced to and continually build on their Taeguek and Palgwae forms and regularly practice and test on their forms to advance in belt rank.
Gain confidence that students can apply in all areas of their lives.

Adult & Intermediate Class

This class is intended for older aged children/teenagers to adults and more experienced students. We believe in the established students and senior belt ranks coming alongside the lower belt ranks and partnering with them as they work on forms and sparring side by side.

"Teaching is Learning."

In this class, students will learn and enjoy the following benefits of Taekwondo-

Increased strength of mind and body.
Respect for themselves, each other and authority.
Perseverance and Endurance.
All Palgwae, Taeguek, and Black Belt forms.
Improved physical and mental health.
Self-Control and Self Discipline.
Enhanced concentration and ability to handle stress.
The ability to defend yourself.
Goal setting by belt testing and rank advancement.

Empowerment & Equality for Special Needs Students

Mr. Cruz empowers and integrates special needs students with their neurotypical counterparts, adapting their training as needed.

What is perhaps less commonly known is how the benefits of martial arts training can specifically improve the lives of people (and their families) with autism and special needs. If a person with special needs is looking to work on gross-motor or fine-motor skills, improve focus and attention, develop memory and cognition, or learn how to positively interact with others, he/she can definitely benefit from martial arts training. Oftentimes, people will benefit just as much from, if not more than, their non-special needs counterparts.

This focus on the benefits aimed at living an empowered and engaging life brings us to Taekwondo specifically. The art of Taekwondo is uniquely suited to the developmental needs of people with special needs. Training in Taekwondo is a great therapeutic practice that can help with the physical and/or intellectual delays, disabilities, and challenges someone with special needs may be facing.
