Mission Martial Arts

Mission Martial Arts Mission Martial Arts is dedicated to enriching lives through the teaching of traditional Taekwondo in a non-threatening, family friendly environment.

Our classes follow a traditional style of Taekwondo, meaning we focus more on the total development of individuals and self-defense skills, not on sport fighting. Classes are led by owner and head instructor, Kevin Manwell. The Manwell family continues to train under the direction of Grand Master Robert Sledge [Martial Arts America, Ankeny IA], which is a partner school with Grandmaster Woo Jin Jung [Jung's Tae Kwon Do Academy, Cedar Rapids IA].

Our trip to Iowa was full of nostalgia and special times. We loved visiting the campground that was a huge part of our kids’ childhood, seeing family, and then finishing the trip at Jung’s Taekwondo Academy. Mr. Manwell was honored in a special tea and sword ceremony for those achieving Master level and then tested for 6th Dan. It was an honor to spend time with Grandmaster Jung in his dojang with 53 years of history. Mrs. Manwell was also recognized with an honorary 3rd Dan.
