Traditional Korean Tae Kwon Do in the Heart of Lafayette, California
Diablo Martial Arts has been serving the Lafayette community since 1974, originally founded as Yu's Martial Arts by Master Byong Hong Yu. In January 2019, we embraced a new name while honoring our rich heritage.
For over five decades, we've taught thousands of students traditional Korean Taekwondo, helping them develop not just martial arts skills, but also character, discipline, and respect.
Our academy has witnessed generations of students grow into confident, disciplined, and respectful individuals. From humble beginnings in a small training hall, Diablo Martial Arts has become a cornerstone of the Lafayette martial arts community.
Today, we continue Master Yu's mission of teaching traditional Korean Taekwondo while fostering personal growth in students of all ages.
We are dedicated to preserving and teaching authentic Korean Taekwondo while fostering personal growth in students of all ages. Our mission extends beyond physical technique—we build confident, respectful, and disciplined individuals who can positively impact their families and communities.
Through traditional training methods and modern teaching techniques, we help students discover their potential both on and off the mat.
Learning to honor our instructors, classmates, and ourselves through traditional bowing and etiquette.
Pushing through challenges and adversity to achieve our goals and become better versions of ourselves.
Using strength responsibly and wisely, understanding the true purpose of martial arts training.
