I started training in CQB in 1977 as a way to keep myself out of trouble. I have trained in multiple styles and types of Taekwondo, Karate, and Jiu Jitsu. I am currently ranked as a 7th. Degree Master in Taekwondo.

4th Degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor
I studied Krav Maga for two years at a local school before joining ETMA in early 2022. While Krav Maga was challenging, it didn't provide nearly the physical health benefits that I have enjoyed since beginning Taekwondo. I also enjoy the competitions. They've been a great way to show off my skills and meet some awesome martial artists. I have won dozens of medals, in 2023, I won three national championships. In late 2023, I became an assistant at ETMA and trained the beginner and intermediate students. Teaching Taekwondo has been rewarding. I love passing on what I have learned, and teaching Taekwondo has enhanced my own skills in the arts.
Axel Diaz
chief instructor
7th Degree Black Belt and School Owner
I am 22 years old. I am currently a third-Degree Black belt and 2-time National Champion in 2020 and 2021 in both point sparring and continuous sparring. I started training when I was 12 while I still lived in Oaxaca, Mexico. The reason I started was due to various discipline problems I was having in school. It was my uncle who convinced me to try it out. Then when I was 13, I moved to the U.S. and took a break from Taekwondo for about 4 years until I found ETMA through a friend. In the time I have been training in Martial Arts I have learned many lessons that go beyond the mats, such as perseverance, respect and most important discipline!
Sophia Johnston
Head Instructor
4th Degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor
I am 16 years old, a third-Degree Black belt and 3-time National Champion in Sparring and Patterns for Taekwondo. I started Taekwondo in 2017 because my parents and I knew Mr. Jones for a long time, and they influenced me to see how it was, and I’ve been with it ever since! I’ve met so many great people in these 7 years, along with learning lifelong lessons!
