About Dong's Karate
Founded in 1971 by Grandmaster Seung Dong, Dong’s Karate has grown from its first school in Harrisonburg, VA to a thriving headquarters in Richmond with locations across Virginia, North Carolina, and even Australia. While rooted in traditional Tae Kwon Do, our program blends martial arts styles to give students of all ages a well-rounded system for fitness, self-defense, and personal growth.
From the beginning, our mission has been about more than kicks and punches. We help students develop discipline, respect, confidence, and self-control while building healthy habits in a fun, safe, and family-friendly environment.
That spirit of giving back extends beyond the studio. For nearly three decades, our annual fundraising event has brought together students and families to support the Children’s Hospital, raising more than $1 million to date.
At Dong’s Karate, training is about shaping stronger individuals, and a stronger community, one class at a time.
