Got started in martial arts late in life, age 21. I started at the US TKD College in Arlington, VA with Master Kang. Three years into my training, during by Black Belt preparation, I take time off for the birth of my son.
Kicking everything in sight, I realize that I have to resume my training. I walk into a brand new Hapkido school right up the street from my house. For the next 3+ years I train under Grandmaster Yong Sung Lee. I'm again on the verge of Black Belt promotion when I am uprooted and relocate back to Massachusetts.
It seems Hapkido is not as easy to find as TKD, go figure! I end up at Gonsalves TKD, training under Grandmaster Joseph Gonsalves. Ten years and a couple of Dans later, I'm still here. I teach, I coach, but now my focus is primarily my son, Alex.
Inspired daily by martial artists Master Ross and Team New England/Harvard Coach Michael Tang to work hard and live the TKD dream!
