“If it weren’t for the principles that Cho’s has taught me, I would never feel the self-confidence that I do today. Cho’s has taught me the discipline to reach my goals and the perseverance to never give up. One of my greatest passions is working with students of all ages. I love watching them grow not only in their skills and athleticism; but also in their confidence and character. I strive to make every class a balance of fun and discipline - creating an environment where students are motivated, focused, and excited to learn. Being part of their journey in supporting their growth, contributing to their development, and seeing their progress along with their success are the most rewarding things to being an instructor. I will continue to pass on the “never give up” mentality that I have grown to love and teach. Cho’s has been a life-changer for me emotionally as a child, mentally as a teenager, and physically as an adult.”

“Cho’s Martial Arts has always felt like home. It never fails to be a place to grow, face challenges, and exceed my own limitations. Cho’s became my outlet when I needed one, and gave me a safe place to fall when things became challenging. I am committed to continuing Cho’s legacy by developing the same fundamental values in our members that the sport has given me throughout my life. The lessons and skills taught at Cho’s reach off the mat and outside of the studio - they are lifelong skills that build a person into who they were meant to be.”

“Being an athlete has always shaped who I am, but nothing has impacted me as deeply as martial arts. It grounded me during a time I felt lost, brought me peace when I needed it most, and helped me rebuild from the inside out. Carrying on my family’s teachings is something I hold close to my heart. I take pride in being part of a legacy built through years of dedication, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share what I’ve learned by teaching those around me. I believe there’s something incredibly powerful about watching someone achieve what they once thought was out of reach and being part of that transformation is something I value and strive for as an instructor.”
