About
Changing lives through the martial arts
A family martial arts academy in East El Paso with one goal: a memorable, impactful experience that builds great technique and better people.
The school
Sun City Taekwondo is a family martial arts academy in El Paso, Texas, offering taekwondo classes and training built around the philosophy of “changing lives through the martial arts.” We are committed to high-quality instruction, and our goal is to create a memorable and impactful experience for every student.
We stand out from other schools in the area because our classes are high-energy and fun without losing the focus on building great technique. The vision of the dojang treats taekwondo as a whole martial art: character development through respect, physical fitness, sport competition and self-defense.
Families on the east side may remember us as White Tiger Taekwondo. Same instructors, same mats, same promise.
The instructors
Our instructors are passionate about teaching taekwondo and character development, and eager to pass on years of experience and skilled training. All of them are certified in first aid and CPR. They train outside of normal class hours to keep classes at the high standard of excellence and integrity that Sun City’s philosophy demands.
A low student-to-instructor ratio means every student gets seen, corrected and encouraged. We partner with parents and members to bring out the very best for success in life.
We are a black belt school
It is painted on the wall for a reason. Every belt is earned by mastering specific skills, and every student is trained as if black belt is the goal, because it is.
Our core philosophy
What every class cultivates
