My name is Addison Holtzleiter. I have been a martial artist for almost 10 years now. Taekwondo has become one of the biggest influences in shaping my character and who I am today. It has given me once-in-a-lifetime experiences, a good work ethic, and role models always willing to guide me. Bouncing back after an injury, I have been a state medalist and a national competitor. Taekwondo started as an after-school activity, but now has become one of the greatest experiences of my life. I am forever grateful to both my parents and my taekwondo family for helping me reach higher than I thought possible.

My name is Justine Shiau. 

I am a biology instructor during the day and a student and assistant instructor at Barnett Taekwondo Academy at night. I practice Taekwondo and Haedong Kumdo, a Korean sword martial art. I spend my weekends refining my skills in form, sparring, and traditional weapons; I am also a multiple-time national competitor and medalist. For me, training is a lifelong journey of self-improvement, discipline, and discovery. I love our martial arts family, the support on and off the mat. I love sharing what I know and growing alongside my students. 

My name is Christina Sabin and my day job is teaching biology to college students. I began taking taekwondo initially as a way to learn new skills and be active. Through my time as a student, it has impacted me athletically as I have grown in flexibility, strength and endurance. It has also provided great friendships as classmates work together to improve. It is this spirit of perseverance and comradery seen in taekwondo that encouraged my desire to teach others; in hopes that they see some of the physical and mental rewards that I have.
