Soaring Eagles Taekwondo Academy had its humble beginnings in January 1995 at the Greater Vallejo Recreation District Center on Amador Street, Vallejo, CA. At that time the program was called GVRD Taekwondo. We started with 9 students; three of them our own children. The name Soaring Eagles Taekwondo was coined after Master Wayne Jones read a book titled "Soaring with Eagles". He was inspired by the eagles’ ability to soar above the storm, and their commitment to family for life. After several years at GVRD we started another location at the Lakeridge Health Club where we remained until 2001. On September 3, 2001, we moved to our first commercial location at 945 Tennessee Street, Vallejo, CA. After hauling equipment back and forth for eight years it was nice to have a permanent home. The school continued to grow until we were forced to move to a larger location.
On October 1, 2004, we moved to our present location at 1516 Solano Avenue, Vallejo, CA. Now celebrating our 15th year we are proud to say we have promoted 23 black belts, most of whom are still training. We believe we are on a mission to touch lives in a positive way.
