Since opening our doors on September 20, 2004, Elevate Martial Arts has proudly served children, teens, and adults in Pickerington, Ohio through high-quality Songahm Taekwondo instruction. For more than 20 years, we’ve helped students build confidence, focus, and respect—both on and off the mat.

Our 6,000-square-foot facility features over 4,000 square feet of professional training space, along with a clean, comfortable lobby where parents can relax and watch their children grow, learn, and achieve their goals in a positive environment.

At Elevate Martial Arts, we believe the most effective learning happens when structure and fun work together. Our traditional martial arts training emphasizes discipline, respect, and self-confidence, while our energetic classes keep students engaged and motivated. This balanced approach has earned us national recognition, including being honored multiple times as an American Taekwondo Association School of the Year.

Elevate Martial Arts is led by Michelle and Kevin Pavlik, full-time martial arts professionals dedicated to helping students succeed in training and in life. Every Certified Instructor completes FBI background checks, youth protection training, and rigorous ATA certification. Ongoing education and recertification every three years ensure our instructors deliver the safest, most effective instruction possible.

Our mission is simple: to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students. We teach lessons that go far beyond kicks and punches—helping students ages 3 to 99 become confident leaders who live with honor, integrity, and perseverance in everything they do.

Elevate Martial Arts is proud to be an independently owned and operated, licensed American Taekwondo Association (ATA) school, serving the Pickerington community for more than two decades.
