About the provider

Baker's Martial Arts was established in 1980 in Berkeley, CA, and later moved to Oakland. Its goal is to teach Tae Kwon Do in a friendly, down-to-earth, and family-oriented environment. Mr. Baker received his Black Belt, and by June 1980, he had promoted 13 students to Black Belt. He started teaching in 1973 at the Young Adult Project in Berkeley, a Model Cities program for inner city youth.

Students may be asked to recite the Baker's Martial Arts Student Creed at promotions and discuss its relationship to their martial arts training.
