Master Instructor / School Owner
Born: October 1972
Rank: The College of Saint Rose: Magna cum laude Elementary Education / 7th Degree Black Belt Master Instructor— Kukkiwon
The goal of a good Taekwondo instructor is to be a "teacher" and to have the heart of a teacher. Taekwondo is very personal and choosing the right instructor for your family can be positive and life changing. As a educator and Taekwondo professional for over twenty years I take pride in the relationships we build while helping our students increase their self-esteem and self-defense abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Yuhasz
