Chief Instructor 5th Degree Black Belt Our chief instructor, Master Jim Null, is a 5th Degree black belt and has been instructing students in Taekwondo since 1991. He has been teaching Taekwondo in Oregon since 1995. Master Null has experience in both the management and the ownership of Taekwondo schools. He is patient with students of all ages and understands that everyone learns differently. He strives to make every student a better person in their everyday lives by being someone who won’t turn the other way and let you get by with less than your best. In his experience of being a head instructor, school owner, and a continuing martial arts student, he has found the balance of all three. He is on the floor each day, teaching along with our other Black Belt instructors. He and his assistants enjoy teaching each student to reach their potential of Black Belt and beyond. |

Programs Director Ms. Cara Adams 2nd Degree Black Belt Ms. Adams has been practicing Taekwondo since February 1999. She started assisting with classes one year later. "Since I was little I have wanted to take Taekwondo. I finally started when I was 27 years old. I thought it would be good way to exercise and a good way to learn self-defense. Little did I know that it would give me so much more!" |
