We are your Burnaby Martial Arts School, specializing in ITF Taekwon-Do and Lightning Scientific Arnis.
More than that, we are your martial arts family. DSA Martial Arts is a family owned and operated school serving the lower mainland since 2013. Our students come from all over, Burnaby, Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, New Westminster, and Coquitlam. Some of them endure the travel to be coached by our team of talented instructors.
With access to books and the internet, martial arts training are now at everyone’s fingertips. However, there is nothing that can replace the guidance of a good instructor and the support of your fellow learners. After all, why else do we still go to schools and universities if we can learn everything with books and the web? Our instructors are internationally certified by the International Taekwon-do Federation to help train you to be the best you can be.
Taekwon-do is a way of life,
as taught by its founder, General Choi. It is not just kicking and punching. Our practitioners not only learn how to effectively defend themselves but also develop the mindfulness and self awareness needed to know when to use it. They learn when to use the closed fist of violence as well as the open hand of peace.
We have programs available for any age:
- The preparatory Little Dragons Kids class for ages 3-7 years old
- the Regular ITF program for ages 7 and up
- the Harmony Program for our senior citizens (50+)
- We also have our Adapted/Special Needs Program developed for students with Developmental, Physical or cognitive Challenges.
- Outside of unarmed combat training, we have Arnis/Kali Combatives available for Youth ages, as well as for Teens/Adults.
These programs are all developed with the aim to accommodate everyone willing to learn Taekwon-do and Martial arts as a whole. We are very proud of the courses we offer and we welcome you to try one to see why DSA Taekwondo is the right choice for you.
Centrally Located
DSA Martial Arts (formerly known as DSA Royal International Taekwon-Do) has been teaching and developing life champions in the Vancouver lower mainland since 2008. Although majority of our students are from Vancouver and Burnaby, many travel from other parts of the lower mainland to participate in our classes.
Our dojang or training studio is centrally located in Burnaby, near the Metrotown Area. We are one block west of the corner of Central Ave and Imperial St. in Burnaby. It is easily accessible by bus and the Metrotown Skytrain is just a 5 minute walk from our studio.

At DSA Martial Arts, our students not only join a martial arts class, they join our extended family.

Even as the faces within these walls change, these shall ever remain a part of DSA Martial Arts.
