Sensei Ignatius "Peng" Tee2nd Dan – Taekwondo, Hapkido
Sensei Ignatius “Peng” Tee began his martial arts journey in 2004, seeking a physical challenge that went beyond the benefits of traditional gym workouts or running. Over time, what started as a fitness goal transformed into a lifelong passion, fueled by the mental and personal challenges martial arts presents. He credits much of his growth and discipline to the guidance and influence of his instructor, Hanshi Joe Torrez.
Holding a 2nd Dan in both Taekwondo and Hapkido, Sensei Peng’s teaching philosophy centers on mastering the fundamentals and perfecting technique rather than rushing to advance in rank. While honoring the traditions of his styles, he also believes in evolving training methods to reflect the realities of changing times. His goal is to help students build strong foundations, develop precision, and cultivate the mindset to succeed both on and off the mat.
