O'Donnell
The
assistant
instructors
Master O'Donnell has nearly 25 years of martial arts experience, both in the arts of traditional Karate and Tae Kwon Do. She started martial arts after a very scary incident in a parking lot many years ago and has never looked back. Master O'Donnell is a very strong, dedicated and disciplined instructor, who is not afraid to push you hard in class to get a great workout. Not only is she a great instructor for us, she also happens to be the Director of the International Handcrafted Soapmaker's Guilde. We are very lucky to have her with us all these years.
We also have several High School and College age students who have worked their way up to Assistant Instructors over the years. Our Assistant Instructors started as children with us and have achieved 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree black belts. They help lead small groups in the class, lead stretching, some of the warm ups and can help relate to the younger students because they are somewhere inbetween the students and the masters. On top of this, they are wonderful role models and inspirations for many of the newer students to see why we persevere and continue our training.
