Extreme Martial Arts Center

Extreme Martial Arts Center (EMAC) is Wilmington's premier martial arts facility dedicated to excellence in World Taekwondo (Olympic style) and Hapkido instruction. Founded to provide comprehensive training, our programs emphasize physical fitness, technical drills, safety protocols, and practical self-defense applications. As the only USA Taekwondo-registered club in Wilmington and surrounding areas, we uphold the highest standards recognized by the United States Olympic Committee. Our affiliation with Han Moo Kwan, one of the original Korean martial arts schools, connects us to a rich historical tradition. We prioritize earned progression, ensuring every belt represents a student's dedication and sacrifice.

With state-of-the-art equipment including Generation II protective gear used in Olympic competitions, we combine modern technology with traditional values. Our qualified instructors maintain current certifications in Olympic sparring and Poomsae, delivering expert guidance for competitive athletes and casual learners alike. The center fosters character development through discipline, respect, and perseverance, serving students of all ages and abilities. Our philosophy extends beyond physical training, cultivating mental resilience and personal growth through structured programs for children, adults, and special needs individuals.
