Douglas Williams YMCA, Kairos Adventures, Mercy Road High School and Mephibo’s House, Master G continues to build safe, powerful spaces where lives are transformed through identity, movement, and belonging.

Eight years ago, she was a timid little girl. Today, she's a fierce, confident high schooler and 1st Gup!

Sometimes being an instructor means becoming a second mom. That's one of my favorite parts of the job. I Love my Taekwon-Do Family!

Former World Class families, are you still following us? Give us a shout!

Some dads watch from the sidelines. Others step onto the floor as beginners to not miss an opportunity to train with a legend.

Honoring Indigenous Women’s Day

Two years ago, for the first time in my adult life, I had the privilege of meeting and learning from Indigenous Women at the National Women's Martial Arts Federation conference held in Chicago. It was also my first step outside an ITF Taekwon-Do comfort zone.

Their stories, connection to the land, culture, and traditions opened my eyes and deepened my respect.

Thank you, ladies, for sharing so openly. I hope to one day bring women from our own Taekwon-Do family to a NWMAF event.

Sometimes our greatest lessons come from stepping outside what we've always known. Full video as I captured it: https://youtu.be/lNjwRyATfYY?si=Vi1yythIAb3LXoFR
