About Us
Mrs. Paula Smith started training in Taekwondo when she was 13 years old and became a certified instructor before graduating high school. After college and many years of exploring a career in marketing and public relation, Mrs. Smith returned to the art she loved in 2009 and began training and teaching again. She also brought her husband, Mr. Chad Smith and children in and began training them.
Together they opened a club in Heflin, AL (Heflin Taekwondo) in 2010 which led to the birth of Smith’s Martial Arts in 2011. Her and Mr. Smith expanded the business in 2015 opening a second location in Oxford, AL (Oxford Taekwondo). They have created a successful family-oriented program for both kids and adults.
Smith’s Martial Arts is a martial arts center where you will learn traditional taekwondo from highly skilled and unique professionals with many years of experience.
Martial Arts is about self-confidence, physical fitness and flexibility, self-defense, improved concentration, coordination and focus, discipline as well as having fun while learning new skills. Martial Arts is not about fighting, it’s about building CHARACTER!
