Your back hurts.

You're stressed.

You keep saying you'll get back in shape "when life slows down."

Let's be honest...

Life isn't slowing down.

Our Adults-Only Taekwondo classes aren't about becoming a fighter.

They're about becoming stronger, healthier, more confident, and proving to yourself that you're still capable of hard things.

No pressure.
No fitness influencers.
No teenagers showing off.

Just real adults improving themselves 1% every day.

Round of applause is in order for our recently promoted Orange belt, Mr. Owen (middle gentleman). Today, he took 1st place in a golf tournament!

Over the course of time he's been our student, his mom Sarah is an Orange Belt too, we've had the honor of watching him flourish. Mr. Owen is a prime example of determination, consistency, and more importantly kindness.

We have several students that do multiple activities, being well rounded is important, however, how they choose to show up is on them. How much effort and time is devoted to practice is a choice only each individual can make.
We are SO PROUD OF YOU Mr. Owen and it's a privilege to be apart of your life.

Mr. Justin and Ms. Stephanie

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newest member of the Fortis Taekwondo black belt family, Mr. Dennis Morrone. Through perseverance, discipline, indomitable spirit and a gentle heart he came through with flying colors. Myself and Mrs. Stephanie always believed in you and know that you will continue to excel. I am very proud of you sir.

Yesterday, Mr. Justin and Miss. Maddie instructed a private self defense. The class lasted 4 hours and taught real world techniques that allow you to feel empowered, plus each participant left with safety items.
Thank you to Jessica and her friends for giving us the privilege to teach you.

"Justin and Maddy are fantastic teachers-so much great information, technique and fun. Steph helped make the class organized and easy. Thank you!"

If this is something that interests you or would like your employer to do, we'd be happy to chat about it.
