Here at Mission Martial Arts, our “Mission” is achieving excellence! We strive to not only build excellent martial artists, but individuals who are well-rounded both mentally and physically. We work with individuals of all ages and skill levels. If you or your child wish to have an outlet for their energy, martial arts is an excellent avenue. If you or your child is timid or shy, practicing martial arts can provide a way to bring them out of their shell and build a confidence that will help them the rest of their life.
Whether you or your child want to learn self-defense, has an agenda to compete, would like to get in shape/lose weight, or just learn a new set of skills – We promise Mission Martial Arts will be the place for you!
Mission Martial Arts is Owned and operated by childhood friends and long time martial artists, Colin Cook and Dustin Groff. Originally founded by Master Colin Cook, a 5th degree Taekwondo blackbelt and Director of our Taekwondo program. Through a partnership with Severna Park Gymnastics, Colin saw an opportunity to construct a martial arts program that promotes traditional Taekwondo with modern and practical approaches to self-defense. When Coach Dustin joined the team, another opportunity arose to offer a wide variety of martial art styles to our students and promote a well-rounded understanding of martial arts. With over 12 years of training and competition experience, Coach Dustin directs our Boxing and Muay Thai programs.
