DSA Taekwondo is your Taekwondo -Martial Arts – Self-defense Studio based in Burnaby. We have been training and building champions in Vancouver and Burnaby since 2008.
Self-defense training is more like an insurance plan, you hope you won’t need to use it but when you do, it may, quite literally, save your life! We train seriously but like any classroom, we always have fun while learning. Our instructors train on a regular basis to keep current on changing techniques which they share to the students, creating a solid foundation which can be nurtured into ultimate success, This and the solid support system within the school has helped us mold our students into some of the best champions in the mats and in society. Come and meet like-minded individuals, engage with other members of your community, and have some fun!
Be confident. Believe in yourself. Train like a Champion. Train with DSA Taekwondo.

"Definitely enjoyed the classes I took at this establishment. Clean cut and they definitely know what they are doing. I recommend this gym for anyone whose willing to get into the sport of TKD. Great at teaching any skill level and instructor and head student are very skilled in their craft. Overall good place to sign up :D"
"Before signing my two kids up at DSA I checked out a few different clubs in the area and chose this particular one for a couple of reasons: Family based business
Instructor is very professional with his teaching skills. Location- very central
It's been just over a year and my kids still look forward to attending their lessons. I would highly recommend DSA to anyone that is considering joining martial arts, I love the fact that Mr. Andaya gives anyone thinking about it a free class so they can check it out."
"This is great taekwondo club. The atmosphere is always positive and instructors are very dedicated. All the kids are very successful at the competitions and win a plenty of medals each time. Beside 3 classes a week, they are organising a parties for kids very often. My kids really enjoy going to classes at this club."
