It's located on Hwy 80E just past the eyeglass place, probably a mile or so east of town (on the right if you're heading towards Selma); it is between 1/8 and 1/4 mile past where highway 80 narrows to 4 lanes.
It is fully-equipped to teach Tae Kwon Do.
They teach: weaponless self defense, knife defense and disarmament, firearm disarmament, grappling, and more!
They teach effective self-defense sparring rather than tournament style point sparring.

I live in Tuscaloosa right now, so I don't know what ther current rates are in Demopolis, but they are definitely cheaper than T-town. Last I checked, Demopolis Karate does NOT charge a testing fee, and I believe that a uniform is free with signup. Your only expenses at Demopolis Karate will be your membership (used to be monthly, 3-month, 6 -month, and 12-month rates, but i don't recall the exact rates), new belts when you pass a testing, and the boards when you have to break wood, which is MUCH cheaper than other schools; I don't know about Ross TKD in Demopolis, but James Bailey TKD in Tuscaloosa costs ALOT, just google . I guaran-dayum-tee that Demopolis Karate is a good deal and is definitely worth the money. Just check it out for yourself! free introductory class!

Some of the ranks are a little out of date, but if you click the name, the link is a picture and title of the blackbelt. This list is by no means a complete list of Black Belts at Demopolis Karate (yes, there are MORE!), so if you want to see them all, you need to go check out Demopolis Karate!

Thank you for this thread. My daughter used to (before the surge of extra-curriculars took over) take Tae Kwon Do at Demopolis Karate. These guys and gals are soooo great. All the instructors are amazing in their abilities. They have so much patience and really build self-esteem and confidence in their students. .....not to mention, they are really nice people! :)

I just noticed that i didn't post class times:

TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, CLASSES START AT 5:30


I posted the wrong name for this thread, so if an admin reads this could they please change it to "Demopolis Mixed Martial Arts", which is the official name of the business.

Both local schools offer a free first class, so check out both. I'm confident that you will find our instructors more experienced and knowledgeable.
