Traditional Taekwondo Center of Davie
About
Traditional Taekwondo Center of Davie has been teaching martial arts on Stirling Road since 1991, which puts it among the longer running independent dojangs in this part of Broward County. The school sits at 6843 Stirling Road, in the stretch of Davie between State Road 7 and University Drive that is dense with small strip mall businesses, and it has stayed a family owned operation through more than three decades of changing neighbors around it.
The curriculum is built around traditional Taekwondo rather than a mixed format fitness class dressed up in a gi. Kids classes focus on confidence, focus, and basic self defense, with an emphasis on discipline and teamwork that the school frames as bullying prevention as much as martial arts technique. There is a dedicated after school program for parents who need a safe, structured place for their kids between the final bell and dinner time, and a summer camp option that keeps that same structure going through the break. On the adult side, the school markets its program around fitness, weight loss, mental focus, and self defense, all wrapped around the same belt ranking curriculum taught to the kids, so families training together can move through the ranks side by side. There is also a women’s flexibility class, and the school books birthday parties for kids who want a martial arts themed celebration instead of the usual bounce house rental.
New members typically pay a registration fee, which the school lists at one hundred seventy five dollars, though that fee is sometimes waived during promotional periods, so it is worth asking about current specials before enrolling. As with most independent martial arts schools, ongoing tuition is billed on a monthly membership basis rather than posted publicly online, and the class schedule is something the front desk can walk a new student through rather than something published on a calendar page. That is fairly standard for a school this size, and it reflects a business built more on walk in relationships and word of mouth in the neighborhood than on a heavily marketed web presence.
What stands out about Traditional Taekwondo Center of Davie is simply its staying power. Strip malls in this stretch of Stirling Road have turned over their tenants many times since 1991, but this school has kept its doors open under the same name, now operating under a Florida corporation that keeps its state registration current. For a town whose identity leans heavily on horses and rodeo, having a martial arts school with three decades of history is a reminder that Davie’s recreation scene is broader than its Western reputation suggests. Parents looking for a structured after school activity, adults looking for a fitness routine with some substance behind it, or anyone wanting a legitimate self defense foundation would do well to call ahead and ask about a trial class, since the school offers new students a chance to try a class before committing to a membership.
