What Parents Say About Our Parties
★★★★★

"My 7-year-old said her party was 'the best day ever' — and they're still talking about it weeks later. Master Plessel made sure every child felt included, somehow remembered all their names, and every kid got to break a board and keep it!"

"The best birthday party I've ever seen executed for a group of kids. Fun and engaged yet structured, so every parent could relax. Games, real class skills, board breaking, and gifts — a massive success."

Your Instructor
Chief Master Michael Plessel
Founder · 8th Degree Black Belt · ATA Certified Instructor

Chief Master Plessel has been living and breathing martial arts since 1987 — nearly four decades of training, teaching, and growing alongside his students. For him, Taekwondo has never been about reaching a destination. It is a lifelong practice, and that philosophy shapes everything about how IMA is run.

He opened his first school in 2006 and brought that dedication to Rock County when he established Integrity Martial Arts in Milton in 2012. Today IMA is an official partner of the Milton School District and MRec — a school woven into the fabric of this community.

His goal is simple: give every student genuine attention, honest instruction, and the belief that they can always go further — whatever that means for them.

"Tae Kwon Do has been truly transformational for our son — more engaged, disciplined, and in control of himself than we've ever seen. Master Plessel leads with genuine care, empathy, and kindness."

"My oldest struggles with anxiety and confidence and usually opts out of everything. This program gave him a welcoming space to work on himself. The culture Master Plessel has built is inspiring — and all the instructors are amazing."

"My son's confidence has grown exponentially. He loves it so much he's even put baseball on the back burner to keep going with taekwondo. Every instructor is patient and goes the extra mile."

"We transferred from another school that was a lot of rote memorization. Not at Integrity — they break things into smaller chunks and focus on quality. She's learning real skills, not just competing, and never wants to sit out a class."

"I attend with my three children, and we've all grown here in skill and character. I started as a white belt and am now working toward my 1st-degree black belt. Master Plessel's training is direct, clear, and invaluable."

Community Events

Beyond the Mat

IMA is a community, not just a gym. These are the moments that make it special.

Buddy Day

Once each testing cycle, students invite a friend or family member to train with them. A great way to share what Taekwondo is really about and welcome someone into the community.

Adult Self Defense Seminars

Practical self-defense workshops designed specifically for adults. Learn real-world awareness, prevention strategies, and hands-on techniques taught by an 8th Degree Black Belt with nearly four decades of experience.

Safety Seminars for Kids

Interactive workshops on bully prevention and personal safety. Designed to build awareness and smart decision-making — taught in a way that empowers kids without creating fear.

ATA Tournaments

Regional competitions open to all ages and ranks — forms, sparring, weapons, and more. A supportive environment focused on growth, pride, and bravery. Top finishers can advance to nationals.

Questions

Good Things to Know

We welcome children as young as 4 in our Integrity Tigers program. From day one, students work on structure, focus, listening skills, and real physical technique — all taught in an age-appropriate, encouraging environment. We will personally match your child to the right class during their free introductory lesson.
Absolutely. Many of our adult students started as complete beginners. We meet you where you are, build a strong foundation, and let you progress at your own pace. No ego, no pressure — just good people who love martial arts.
Just comfortable athletic clothing and bare feet. Your first uniform (dobok) is included when you enroll — no shopping required before your first day.
Absolutely — and that is exactly how we think about it at IMA. Martial arts is not a program you complete; it is a practice that grows with you. We have students of all ages who have been training for years and have no plans to stop. Whether you train for fitness, focus, community, or the art itself, there is always more to explore.
Safety is our top priority. All classes are structured, supervised, and age-appropriate. Students do not begin sparring until Camo Belt — roughly a year in — and only with full safety equipment. Our Tigers program is specifically designed for ages 4–7, with technique and structure appropriate to their development.
Yes, and we love it when families train together. Kids and parents can be on the mat at the same time, and our schedule is designed with busy families in mind. Some families even share the same class when age allows.
We serve the entire Rock County area including Janesville, Edgerton, Evansville, Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, Brodhead, and surrounding communities. Our Milton location at 44 2nd Street is easy to reach from across the county.
