See if you can find an ATA (American Taekwondo Association) school nearby. They are the largest martial arts organization in the United States. The ATA curriculum is traditional Taekwondo with lots of life skill training thrown in for good measure. How do I know this? I have been a certified ATA instructor for almost 20 years! My whole family (wife, son and myself) participated in ATA training and tournaments for several years. Probably 99% of the people that we met, trained and competed with were upstanding individuals! Good luck on your quest!
