Master Pai began his training with his uncles at 5-years-old and he now specializes in MMA. He says he loves teaching because his training has taught him self-respect and he loves sharing that feeling with others. His compassionate approach and easygoing nature help students feel at ease and have fun while learning weapons skills. 

Master Howland fell in love with Taekwondo the first day he and his sons tried it out. He has grown through the ranks and began teaching in 2010. He now enjoys assisting training black belts at IMAA as well as our Competition Team. His goals are to help others discover their own passion for the martial art he loves.

 Senior Lyndsey is a 2nd Dan Black Belt and has many achievements under her belt, including travelling abroad and participating in Taekwondo competitions around the world. She says Taekwondo has taught her self-confidence and resilience that has helped her in every aspect of her life. Her teaching style is calm and patient for our Little Dragons, yet direct and firm for others. She loves to travel and has a cheery personality that will always welcome you with a smile!

Senior Rex started his Taekwondo training here at IMAA in 2017. He became an instructor because he found working with other students in that capacity to be very fulfilling. He especially appreciates learning how to better interact with the Little Dragons. Rex has a quiet humor which allows him to interact with younger students patiently and relate to older students in a unique and effective way.

Senior Ray is a part of our Leadership Team here at IMAA. He started his training at 6 years old and has achieved his Black Belt.  Ray has a fun personality but can be strict when needed. He began teaching as a way to give back to the studio and found that he really loved it!

Laura has an extensive background in administrative work. When her daughters enrolled in Taekwondo in 2020, she found she loved the community and atmosphere that IMAA has created. When the opportunity to step into an administrative roll presented itself, she was eager to take it on. Working behind the scenes, Laura takes pride in maintaining the culture of black belt excellence by spearheading event organization and community outreach as well as coordinating new student trial classes and helping everyone stay on track.

Mary has been in the social media marketing world since 2017 and was introduced to the world of Taekwondo in 2021 when her daughter enrolled at IMAA. She found she loved the principles and tenets of Taekwondo, and the culture espoused by Grand Master Augustine. She wanted to help others who are unfamiliar with martial arts learn more and show them how Taekwondo could help them and their children not just physically but in every aspect of life.
