Instructors

Superman is a fave superhero because he hid his powers and was humble. Loves Frosted Flakes because they’re GRRREAT! Kraig’s actually scared of the Disney Teacup Ride because spinning makes Sensei sick!

Sensei Jeoffrey the wonder boy" is a skilled karate instructor who draws inspiration from his favorite cartoon Naruto. When he's not teaching, he indulges in his favorite food, pork blood stew, and unwinds with Titanic. He's not a fan of cereal but loves his students' discipline.

​

Bog as he is sometimes called loves action films from Jackie Chan adventures to the John Wick series. This makes sense because the most fun he’s ever had is when he jumped out of a moving car! His superhero is his dad.

When Dougie Fresh (nickname) is in your home sweet home (Motley Crue fan), be sure to serve him some Coco Puffs or Sesame Chicken. But keep bugs and spiders out which gives him the heebie jeebies. If you can’t, he’d rather head to Hawaii to get away from it all.

Love’s courage and bravery in movies like Braveheart, The Rock, and Shawshank Redemption. He is a good old hamburger-loving guy, and if you ever forget his name, you can simply yell out his nickname, “Hey You.”

Tomas is a man of mystery whose favorite superhero is Batman. He loved Alien the movie, but he oddly enough is also afraid of, you guessed it…aliens. He dreams about traveling to Japan to stay at an onsen/ryokan.

​

An instructor who’s as unique as his favorite movie Fifth Element. Loves all you can eat at Mongolian Grill or Cap’n Crunch especially while on a cruise. Cliff diving doesn’t scare him, but the Chuppacabra does…what is that anyway? Just ask Bubba (nickname) in your next lesson.

​

Johnny is all about bats. Batman, Batman the Animated Series, spelunking in caves, and jamming out to his favorite band, you guessed it, Batusis. He is afraid of bats, unless he can enjoy them in a breakfast cereal, Reese’s Puff’s-Bats.

​

Master Michael loves the classics, The Beatles, Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon, and To Kill a Mockingbird. If you don’t know what those are, come take a class and ask him. He’s not afraid of anything (like when he once kissed a goat), but death itself. His cereal of choice is Honey Nut Cheerios and his favorite food is steak.

​

He tears it up with his fave cereal Frosted Shredded Mini Wheats as well as doing a move in Hyung class which split his boxers…good thing it was at the end of class. Who needs superheroes when his real life ones are his brother Alex and his cousin Leonard.

Got rice? If so, Master Brandon is there! Some of his favorite trips have been to Dublin and Galway, Ireland and he looks forward to going a little farther east to Korea and Japan someday. A fan of the Finnish symphonic metal band, Nightwish, which would be the perfect theme music for this favorite cape crusader, Batman.

​

​

“Evel” Kniesel enjoys banging his head to heavy metal music legend Metallica between classes. A family man who loves vacationing with his family to the Caribbean, he’s never met a Chocolate Cake he didn’t like. He’s got all the energy you want from a master teacher from his flux capacitor from his favorite movie Back to the Future.

​

​

Don’t Master Graham’s love for traditional steak and potato full you, he has some pretty fun facts to know. He listens to Cage the Elephant, an American rock band and his favorite movie is Second Hand Lions that teaches that everyone should have a chance to truly live in life, like when he lived in Hawaii one summer with his mom despite being afraid of fish.

I not only love teaching Taekwondo but also life lessons of respect, perseverance, mental and physical growth.

​

Sean (aka Colonel Flag) once taught a cheer routine using kata which is so cool like his favorite hero, Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He scared of spiders but loves the Beatles. A rare non-sugar cereal Chex eater, he dreams of taking a chill Alaskan Cruise.

I love Superman, Looney Tunes cartoons, and my favorite movie is The Outlaw Josey Wales (love Clint Eastwood). Tacos are my weakness, and the craziest, most fun thing I’ve ever done was throwing a football between two driving cars. If I had to choose a favorite cereal, Crunch Berries would be up there!

​

Jim “Big Head” Nelson enjoys classic rock artist Edward Van Halen, Chinese food, and his favorite movie The Other Guys. A funny fact about Jim is he once played a wooden toilet seat on Fox Chanel 2 in the morning…you’ll have to ask him what that’s about. He’s afraid of Kodiak Bears and dreams about scuba diving in the Bahamas (no bears)!

.

Also has been called Monkey, Erica can laugh at herself, like the time she made a hot air balloon out of a box and big bag. After launching it, the wind caught it and it flew back smacking her in the face. Some other fun things about Erica is that she loves listening to Bug Hunter, is scared of snakes, and loves Philly Cheesesteaks and Fruity Pebbles.

You’d understand why Honey Nut Cheerios is Ian’s favorite cereal when you learn that he once drove to Texas just to fire machine guns and ride in a tank…pretty nutty. When not so crazy, he enjoys curling up to with his favorite movie, The Princess Bride.

​

Loves the ocean, mom’s home cooking, and Dinosaur bits…is that a cereal? Her funniest thing she’s ever done is jumping out of a plane, and that is what scares her most, so she’s proof that overcoming one’s fear can be fun.

Sue’s favorite cereal is so appropriate for a karate instructor, Kix! Like her sister, her favorite place to be is at the beach/ocean. Supergirl is her fave superhero and she loves a classic meal of spaghetti and meatballs.

Loves the cat and mouse high jinks of the Tom & Jerry cartoons and the Bruce Lee biopic in the Last Dragon. A Biggie Smalls rapper fan who enjoys a classic hamburger. He dreams about visiting Turkey and Greece in the Mediterranean.

His most fun moment was winning a Halloween contest on his kick-ball team dressed as a fairy princess! That’s just as crazy as his nickname which was Kamikaze Kid. A Wutang/Dave Mathews fan, his dream vacation would be to Tokyo and Okinawa, Japan.

A Black Panther fan, Keith likes a whole bunch of things including John Wick movies, chicken and spinach, Cap’n Crunch, and the ripcord ride at Worlds of Fun. Never wanting to miss an opportunity, “Keedy Kat” as he is sometimes called, will one day visit Asia (Japan, China, Korea).

Master Logan loves Japan, from listening to his favorite band The Sixth Lie (Japanese electronic rock band) to taking a dream cultural and historical vacation to the country. He even loves busting out Karaoke tunes with his crackly voice. His favorite movie is Dead Poet Society, so Carpe Diem and seize the day!

Japan is a dream vacation spot which is a good thing because there aren’t any chimpanzees which Austin fears. Spiderman is his favorite superhero and if you do happen to be in Austin’s friendly neighborhood, you may catch him enjoying his favorite cereal Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

She’s so cool having surfed over at Santorini, Greece. A movie saga maven, she loves Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. She is all about safety but smiles when remembering lecturing someone about being safe only to get hurt herself a few seconds later. You’ll get on her good side if you bring her some BBQ ribs!

VT is a fan of water whether that is snorkeling in Hawaii or dreaming about the Bahamas. When hungry, V prefers chicken wings or even a nice sugary bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Although Vedant is scared of heights, this doesn’t stop him for aiming for the stars for his students.

Heather’s favorite superhero is Thor, but she also enjoys watching Winnie the Pooh and the Princess Diaries. Make no mistake about it though, Master “Yabi” is one tough cookie despite her fear of snakes. She’s snorkeled with turtles and also enjoys listening to country music (Reba Mcentire). She dreams about having a gelato in Italy one day.

A Marvel Universe aficionado of the Avengers-Endgame, Jon is a kid at heart who loves chicken nuggets, vacations with his family, and Pokémon cartoons. He likes Spiderman but not spiders. A down to earth guy who enjoys country music (Rascal Flatts), he thinks it would be cool to one day climb the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

Master “Markie” is a Fruit Loops cereal man and loves Billy Joel the Piano Man. He’s all things scuba and can’t wait to explore ruins on his next dive. He likes the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars sagas and relaxing to Scooby Doo cartoons while munching on Tacos! Can you say, Taco/Toon Tuesdays!

​

A Captain America fan he can eat Asian food all day…so yummy. Nothing really scares him except fear itself, but he would just chill getting his groove on watching his favorite movie, Emperor’s New Groove. Europe is his dream vacation.

Riley has so many favorites we don’t have enough room to list them all. You’ll have to just ask him. He is an expert of cartoons from the classic Bugs Bunny to Anime with One Punch Man being a current favorite. If you have 12 hours to spare, join him in an extended cut marathon of the epic Lord of the Rings with Teriyaki Thin-Cut Flank Steak…doesn’t get any better than that!

I am Iron Man or Toper as he is more commonly called. Mike is an 80’s guy grooving to the smooth tunes of Earth, Wind, and Fire or Chicago (Hey, at least Pete
