Wolchek Academy of Martial Arts
About
Wolchek Academy Since 1994
Wolchek Academy of Martial Arts (WAMA) sits on 28th Street in central Boulder, providing world-class martial arts instruction since 1994. The school is built around Taekwondo as the core curriculum, with structured kids programs including a dedicated intermediate-and-advanced "SWAT" track for students who progress past beginner level.
Kids Taekwondo Programs
The school structures kids classes across multiple skill levels plus wraparound after-school and camp programming. Programs include:
- Beginner Kids Martial Arts (foundational TKD curriculum)
- SWAT - Intermediate and Advanced Kids Martial Arts (next-level training)
- After School Program (school pickup plus martial arts)
- Day and Summer Camps (school-break programming)
- Birthday Parties (party packages at the dojo)
- Private Lessons (1-on-1 instruction option)
What's Included
- 30-plus years of operating history in Boulder (since 1994)
- SWAT intermediate-advanced kids track (clear progression beyond beginner)
- After-school pickup integration for working families
- Day and summer camp programming during school breaks
- Birthday-party programming at the dojo
Experience
The SWAT tier is meaningful - most kids martial arts schools dump beginners and intermediates into the same class. SWAT signals the school takes student progression seriously and rewards it with separate, higher-intensity training. Three-decade tenure puts Wolchek in the institutional-stability category. Pattern fits Boulder families that want their child training in a long-tenured school with clear advancement structure and full wraparound programming (after-school + camps).
