Gotham Martial Arts is a world-class martial arts education facility located in the Lenox Hill/Upper East Side area of Manhattan. The aim of our Taekwon-do program is to enhance each student's education by emphasizing both physical development and character. Through our quality instruction, students will not only learn self-defense and improve their physical fitness but will also experience enhanced mental focus, discipline, and an appreciation for traditional values. We believe that through consistent training, individuals will foster an enlightened mindset that can be applied to other facets of their lives.
Headmaster William Kwok also serves as a safety training facilitator for the Asian American Federation (AAF)'s Hope Against Hate Campaign. Alongside his students, he is deeply committed to giving back to our communities and effecting positive change. Our dedication to community safety and well-being is evident not only in our training roles but also in our creative endeavors. In 2021, we collaborated on a comedy short titled Kung Fu Grandma, centered on themes of anti-bullying and anti-hate crime. Our hope is that this film will inspire viewers to contribute to a safer, more peaceful environment for all. Ultimately, our primary message is "Standing Strong Together," underscoring the importance of fortifying community bonds through understanding and communication.
Established in 2007, our community has flourished under the guidance of Headmaster Kwok, who brings over 40 years of experience to his teachings. We are proud members of Taekwon-do International. Everyone with a desire to grow both as a martial artist and an individual is warmly welcomed! We look forward to meeting you soon.
