Our Story

Built on Passion & Purpose

Himalayan Taekwondo Academy was founded in 2018 by Master Nakul Sharma, a Kukkiwon 4th Degree Black Belt with over 30 years of martial arts experience. Driven by a vision to bring world-class Taekwondo instruction to Harrisburg, PA, Master Sharma built the academy from the ground up.

What started as a small class has grown into a thriving community where hundreds of students from age 4 to adults have discovered the transformative power of martial arts training.

We believe Taekwondo is more than a sport — it's a vehicle for personal growth. Every student who walks through our door leaves with greater confidence, sharper focus, and a deeper respect for themselves and others.

I started as a complete beginner at 35 and felt welcomed from day one. Instructor Punam is amazing with adult students. Already got my yellow belt after 4 months!

Clean facility, passionate instructors, and a genuinely supportive community. This place is not just a Taekwondo school — it's a second family for our kids.

The after-school program is a lifesaver. My daughter gets her homework done AND gets her Taekwondo training in one afternoon.

The summer camp was phenomenal. My son came home exhausted every day in the best way. He made great friends and improved his forms tremendously.
