TKD Wellness | Olympic Sport Taekwondo for Kids, Teens & Adults in Tucson
Classes are great, but you're not being pushed to your full potential. You want more than repetition, you want more growth.
It’s hard to stay motivated without clear goals or the excitement of preparing for something bigger.
You train hard, but when the spotlight's on during testing or demonstrations you freeze or second-guess yourself.
Without a team environment or high-level focus, training can start to feel isolated or uninspired.
At TKD Wellness, we believe that competition is not just about winning—it’s about discovering what you’re truly capable of. Whether you’re a young martial artist looking to challenge yourself or a seasoned student ready to elevate your game, we understand your drive. You want to feel confident under pressure, perform at your peak, and be part of a team that pushes you to grow—and that’s exactly what we deliver.
Founded by Dr. Yoendry Torres, a clinical psychologist and black belt in Taekwondo, TKD Wellness uniquely integrates mental skills training into every competition team session. Our athletes learn not only how to fight—but how to focus, regulate nerves, visualize success, and stay mentally sharp under the stress of tournament settings. We don’t just train bodies, we develop champions from the inside out.
We train hard and train smart. Our competition team benefits from:
Expert Coaching & Strategy – Led by experienced coaches with backgrounds in Olympic-style sparring and sport psychology.
High-Performance Mental Skills Training – Athletes practice mindfulness, visualization, and emotional regulation to boost competitive edge.
Team Training with the Gray Wolves – We regularly host joint training sessions with the Gray Wolves Taekwondo Team, led by Coaches Cris Valenzuela and Cris Valenzuela II, to foster deeper skill diversity, friendly rivalries, and real match experience.
A Culture of Growth – Whether it’s your first tournament or your tenth, you’ll be surrounded by a team that celebrates effort, perseverance, and progress.
At TKD Wellness, we’re not just preparing you for the next tournament, we’re preparing you for life. Our athletes leave with more than medals. They walk away with grit, self-belief, and a lifelong passion for improvement.

We foster a growth-minded team environment where everyone is pushed to improve—but never left behind. You’ll grow through challenge, not pressure.
Train because you’re inspired, not because you’re locked in. We believe in earning your trust through quality coaching, not contracts.
The TKD Wellness Competition Team is open to students who demonstrate strong fundamentals, consistent attendance, and a desire to challenge themselves in a more competitive environment. Students typically need an invitation or coach approval to join.
Not at all! While prior experience can be helpful, it’s not required. We welcome beginners who are eager to learn and willing to train hard. We focus on developing both new and experienced competitors to their fullest potential.
Team members typically train 1–2 additional times per week on top of their regular TKD classes. We also schedule joint practices with our partner team, Gray Wolves, to simulate real sparring and elevate training quality and learn from each other.
There is an additional monthly fee ($35) for competition team training to cover specialized coaching, extended training time, and extra resources. While we don’t offer discounts for this program, the cost is designed to remain accessible and well below typical rates for elite-level martial arts coaching.
No. While we encourage all athletes to compete as a part of their growth, participation in tournaments is not mandatory. We’ll help you select the right events that match your experience level and goals.
Sparring Team members are required to have full sparring gear approved for competition, including a chest protector, headgear, shin and forearm guards, mouthguard, and gloves. We’ll help you get outfitted properly when you join.
Poomsae Team members are required to have a clean poomsae competition uniform.
Please let Coach Torres (for Poomsae) or Coach Chris (for Sparring) know your interest and that you would like to try a Free Competition Class. That’s it!
