The experience at #ACNC24 (this month's feature photo) was nothing short of miraculous. It was truly heartwarming to witness attendees of all ages embrace the core principles of ITF Taekwon-Do and experience immediate benefits in their movement and confidence. Master G. had a powerful discussion on the benefits of inclusive martial arts with Amputee Coalition Board Member, Dr. Foluso Fakorede. Don’t miss out - watch the YouTube video now and see the impact for yourself! A heartfelt thank you to the Amputee Coalition for inviting Master G. back for a second year. |

27 Years Taekwon-Do Excellence |
|
|
"August 18, 1997, I celebrated the grand-opening of my first Taekwon-Do school. I am profoundly thankful to my Lord and Savior for the skills He has blessed me with, as well as to my family, supporters, volunteers, instructors, mentors, masters, and grandmasters. Reflecting on the trials and tribulations faced, I am grateful for the challenges that have shaped me and brought me to this point. I witness miracles in motion in every class. Here's to the journey thus far, and to many more years of growth and achievement. Thank you all for being a part of my story!" - Master G. |
