Our Founder: Master Maggie Messina 

Master Maggie Messina fell in love with Taekwondo from the moment she began learning from her first instructor. Driven by her passion for the martial art, she founded Taecole Tae Kwon Do in 1996 to spread her knowledge and make a positive impact on people's lives. Master Messina specializes in working with preschool-aged children and holds a Certification from the CDA in Early Childhood Development. She and her team are dedicated to providing top-notch instruction, with several staff members holding NYS teaching degrees and Primal Health & Fitness Coaching certifications.
