History
Established in 2008.
Mr. D started TKD when he was 9 (1991). He’s been teaching since he was 12. Over the course of his training, he’s had the opportunity to study under many different instructors, making him very well rounded. While in college, he ran a TKD club on campus, which he continued for four years after he graduated. Before moving to Independence, KY he spent several years managing a school in Columbus, OH. So when he opened his doors in January of 2008, it wasn’t his first day on the job.
His wife has been teaching with him since day one. Both Mr. & Mrs. D have experienced the art as kids, teens, and now young adults. So they are able to relate to students of any age. Mr. D is a 5th Degree black belt and Mrs. D is a 4th Degree.
The school has been open for almost 4 years now. It’s got over 230 students, with over 100 families as members. DTA has a growing team of instructors, and a fantastic family environment.
