Eldred's School of Martial Arts operates at 2315 E Valley Pkwy, Suite A, in Escondido, California. The academy provides instruction in traditional taekwondo, self-defense, and martial arts conditioning for children, teenagers, and adult students.

Eldred received his first-degree black belt in 1984 under Dale Miller, bringing decades of instruction to the Escondido community. Training programs focus on traditional forms, blocking skills, kicking precision, and practical self-defense applications. Classes are separated into age-specific groups, emphasizing focus, coordination, and physical fitness in an encouraging environment. Families and prospective students can visit the Valley Pkwy facility in Escondido to arrange an introductory lesson.
