About Kwon's Wellness

We're not your average after school program. Our goal is to build strong leaders.

Teaching at Kwon's revolves around 4 Quadrants of Student Growth:

  • Emotional Skills: How a student feels about themselves
  • Social Skills: How a student behaves with others
  • Physical Ability: Student's ability to become stronger and meet physical requirements as designed by doctor of physical therapy, Dr. DK Kwon.
  • Martial Arts Technique: Student's demonstration of proper discipline in both mind and body

All of our staff are trained in the above as well as using Positive and Objective Feedback when working with students. When students do well, instructors make sure they know they are succeeding to boost their self-esteem and confidence.

Consider us a part of your team in helping your children become the best version of themselves.

For students in pre-k and k, we teach simplified martial arts and use martial arts as a vehicle to develop important, social, emotional, and physical skills. For students in 1st grade and above we begin teaching the art of Soo Bahk Do, a traditional Korean martial art.

Our Studio

Kwon's Wellness has a well established history of 20+ years operating in Manhasset, NY. Due to COVID-19, we were forced to downsize. Our newly opened location in 2021 is located at 360 Port Washington Blvd.

We are grateful that many of our students remained with us taking in-person classes and taking advantage of our online offerings. Running a safe and clean operation has earned their trust.

We hope to earn your trust as well. Cleanliness and safe operation is our top priority amidst the global pandemic. Here are some safety guidelines we follow:

  • All persons indoors must wear proper mask at all times, except during water breaks
  • Water breaks can be given upon request. All students bring their own water and wash their hands before drinking. Everyone sits down or steps outside to drink water. No talking is allowed. Activities resume when everyone is back in their spot with masks on.
  • Mats are deep cleaned on a daily basis
  • Hands are washed before and after class, as well as during class if deemed necessary
  • HEPA + UV filter machines are used in the space, including a small unit in the bathroom
  • Class sizes are closely monitored and controlled, assigned classes only.
  • In-person classes are live streamed to our private parents' Facebook group to reduce number of persons waiting in the studio. Great for those who want to watch their children while at work too!
