MR. CATANA

“Taekwondo helped me so much when I was growing up. My studio was like a second home and my instructors were a second set of parents reminding me that ‘yeah your mom and dad were right you should be doing better’.

I don’t think I would have the same, discipline, manners, or confidence without Taekwondo.

I have been a Taekwondo instructor for over 15 years and in that time I have seen countless students experience the same growth I have. From kids who can’t focus, to Teenagers who need an outlet besides their TV, to adults looking for fitness they actually enjoy and can stick to. Taekwondo transforms lives

-Mr.Catana

Mr. Catana holds a 3rd-degree black belt in Taekwondo and has been a Martial Arts instructor for almost 20 years.
