Master Burns Black Belt USA Tae Kwon Do (Master Burns BBUSA) was founded in 2009 by Master Rockland (Rocky) Burns with support from, and as a sister school to, Master Shon Black Belt USA in Federal Way, Washington. Since inception, this school has educated both kids and adults in the traditional style of Tae Kwon Do using the principles of the World Taekwondo and Kukkiwon styles.

We teach and live by the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do — Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit — integrating them into every aspect of training. By combining these five tenets with a balanced program of forms (poomsae), sparring, self-defense, conditioning, and breaking, Master Burns Black Belt USA Tae Kwon Do prepares students for measurable personal growth. Safety protocols, individualized coaching, and regular goal reviews ensure training is effective and sustainable. Whether your aim is improved fitness, greater focus, real-world self-defense, or advancement through the belt ranks, our program develops capable, respectful, and resilient martial artists.
