About Us

Shin's Family Martial Arts Center in Valencia

Since 2000, our martial arts center has been providing Valencia and the Santa Clarita Valley with high-powered, engaging programs. In our 12,000 square foot facility, we offer a variety of classes meant to cater to many ages and ability levels. Whether you're a young beginner or have several years of experience, you can find a program suited to you. Some of our most popular classes are in our after school programs, which provide students an encouraging environment in which they can better themselves both physically and mentally. Martial arts encourage whole-body training, sculpting muscle tone, and teaching students to focus their energies into a productive outlet.

We were voted Best Martial Arts School in 2016 by The Los Angeles Daily News.

Each year since our opening, we have focused on constantly improving and expanding our programs. We employ instructors who are passionate educators, purposefully reaching out to each student at his or her level. Through our programs, students learn essential techniques for self-defense, and build confidence and self-esteem in the process.

Incomparable After School Programs

As your instructor, it is our job to help you access your inner strength and draw it out in order to help you become confident and bold. Statistically, students who apply themselves to a physical activity do better in school, and in their social worlds as well. This is because lessons learned in our classes manifest themselves into character qualities that are applicable to daily life.

At Shin's Family Martial Arts Center, we instill distinct qualities into our students, such as:

  • Discipline
  • Patience
  • Diligence
  • Focus
  • Self-confidence
  • Awareness
  • Humility
  • Interdependence and cooperation
  • Self-control

Training That Goes Beyond Martial Arts

Not only do we provide prestigious martial arts training programs, but we also have other opportunities for students to engage in healthy, fitness-oriented activities. In our facility, we also provide zip lines for cross-training exercises. Olympic-sized trampolines offer another way to work on core strength and cardio endurance.

  • Shin's Family Martial Arts is the best!

    “I am so thankful to have found Shin's Family Martial Arts! I have been taking classes since 2007 and I have loved every second of it. All the instructors are great with kids and make the classes a lot of fun. I even had fun taking the tougher classes when I was training for my first degree black belt. The instructors are very motivating and enthusiastic every day too! I have learned so much at Shin's and I love sharing it all with my family. Every day when I come home I always tell my family about all of the new skills and tricks that I learned. Plus, Shin's is a great way to work out while having a great time.”

  • Santa Clarita Families Love It at Shin’s Family Taekwondo Martial Arts Fitness Center

    “Dear Master Shin, We would like to thank you and all of your fabulous instructors at Shin’s Family Martial Artsfor all the great training and exercise our family has received at your facility. We have been attending classes at Shin’s for many years, and we have found that t he benefits our boys have received are far beyond the physical work out. It has boosted their self confidence and self control. They interact well with their peers and are learning to diffuse certain situations. It is such a great form of exercise and training. Not only are they learning to be healthy and stay active, they are learning respect and discipline and the best part is that they are having fun and don’t even know it! So again thanks to you and all the instructors at Shin’s, you all go out of your way to make working out enjoyable and fun! The Lomeli Family”

  • Discipline, Courage, Determination… and Just Plain Hard Work.

    “Discipline, courage, determination, and just plain hard work. These are words that come to mind when I think about my experiences at Shin’s Black Belt Academy. Since my first day of class to the present, each time I enter the studio I know I am in for one tough workout that will challenge me and teach me the aforementioned words. The classes are well organized, taught with passion by Master Shin, and constantly changing to best suit his students. The environment of the classes are a direct result of Master Shin’s personality and ability to make his students feel like they are accomplishing something special, which they are. Master Shin’s pleasant demeanor and obvious enjoyment for his job, along with his excellent teaching techniques and verbal praises have made me more aware of how I can better myself as a teacher and basketball coach. Having also seen Master Shin work with children and teenagers I am convinced that he is truly a gifted teacher and a very good person.”

  • Santa Clarita’s Ultimate Training Center for Tae Kwon Do Martial Arts

    “Where can you go in Santa Clarita for National level training in Tae Kwon Do sparring? Shin’sFamily Martial Arts! Our four daughters were small, shy, sweet girls who needed to grow in confidence and physical ability (and a little self defense could come in handy down the road). So we enrolled them at Shin’s as early as 3 years of age. The instructors are fantastic and know how to challenge kids both physically and mentally. One of the great growing opportunities occurs in competition with winning and losing at tournaments. And fortunately at Shin’s, there is a lot more winning. Our oldest daughter after 4 years at Shin’s placed 1st at the Jr. Olympics. Our girls are still small, shy, and sweet; but now they are also agile, strong, capable of performing under pressure, and they can fight! Takeshi Nakazawa”

  • My Path To Mixed Martial Arts

    “Master Shin has helped me in ways that prepared me for my future. Before I trained with Master Shin, I got picked on at school and couldn’t even do a push up. Now I have six fill contact fights and teach MMA (mixed martial arts) to children and adults. He has given me tools that will help me through out my life time. Thank you Master Shin! Dustin Arklin”
