Blackbelt Tae Kwon Do Center has been in business since 1995 and at this location on Pleasantville Road in Briarcliff Manor since 2005. Students here learn courtesy, respect, self-control and an indomitable spirit. According to co-owner and head instructor Joffre Pesantes, this dojang cares about each student and pays attention to each student individually, not only focusing on martial arts training but also on the person inside. Lessons are given in Tae Kwon Do and Mixed Martial Arts throughout the week for students of all ages and levels of experience. Types of martial arts taught include Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Hap Ki Do as well as kickboxing and self-defense. Personal training and an after-school program is offered.
