The Vernal Martial Arts Center is providing the Vernal, Utah community with the very best in martial arts instruction. Our instructors are personally selected not only for their skill and achievements in the martial arts, but also for their ability to effectively relate their knowledge and understanding to students of all ages and backgrounds. Our instructors undergo advanced training in self-defense skills and keep abreast of the latest teaching methods in human development.

With you in mind...

At the Vernal Martial Arts Center we are not only interested in fighting skills but in the development of each person as a whole. As a famous teacher once said "these are the tools of everyday life, what you learn in here, you can apply everywhere." We train our students to the best of THEIR ability. Some students come to us in shape, while other come to us with a variety of health related maladies. Most come with limited flexibility. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. This is YOUR journey, and our instructors will be there every step of the way to help you reach your goals. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try, and with that YOU WILL IMPROVE!

A traditional approach to modern self-defense...

Although our techniques are based on century's old knowledge, it is our application of that knowledge that sets the Vernal Martial Arts Center apart. Instead of mixing and matching bits and pieces from many different martial arts, we offer TWO COMPLETE, TIME HONORED, TRADITIONAL CURRICULUMS. Yet we realize that each of you possess different natural abilities; size and strength will vary from person to person, etc. That is why once you have acquired a strong foundation and ability in the basics, our program is individualized to match your physical capabilities in order to maximize your self-defense skills. Should the need ever arise you will possess a firm understanding of exactly what it takes to both mentally and physically defend yourself or your loved ones, and you'll have the knowledge and ability to do so!

Our system of martial arts...

The Vernal Martial Arts Center was established to promote and preserve the traditional Korean Martial arts of TANG SOO DO and HAI DONG GUM DO, and to share the benefits of these fine arts with those who want to improve their quality of life. In today's hectic society, there is no doubt that we need self-defense skills. Equally important are physical fitness and positive ways to deal with daily stress! As times change, so do the requirements of a martial art in contributing to the community. Under the capable leadership of Master Instructor Steven Wallenda, the Vernal Martial Arts Center provides martial arts that continue to keep pace with the times and benefit all who come to study with us. "I believe the ability to defend oneself is a personal right and the martial arts to be a priceless treasure in securing that right!"

Men & Women

We realize how important it is to look and feel great. This is why the Vernal Martial Arts Center puts fitness on top of the list. We won't promise to turn everyone into an Olympic athlete (that's unrealistic!) But we will train everyone to their fullest potential, regardless of age or lack of experience. You will learn to be in your best possible shape! Not only do we believe everyone has to be in top physical shape to look and do their best everyday life, but with crime on the rise and violent assaults on females up, it pays for everyone to have first hand self-defense knowledge. Our programs specialize in self-defense so you can learn the basics quickly and easily. We will teach you how-to overcome grabs, punches, kicks and even weapon attacks.
