Meet T's New Master - Master Douglas Townsend


T is so looking forward to being Master Doug's student for all of his TaeKwonDo.  He's looking forward to growing and learning all he can while being his student.  He has known Master Doug for many many years now.  Master Doug had a winning competition Demo Team and that was his main focus for a good many years.  He's now switched his focus to more of the sparring side of things.  We wanted to take a moment and introduce you to his new Master/Coach because this is who he will have as his Master from here on out unless something unforeseeable happens.  Master Doug just recently earned his blue belt in Jujitsu.  That's a step down from black belt in that particular martial arts and it takes 10 years to go from blue to black in it.  He is very actively involved in instructing his students.  He's a very hands on Master and that is what T aspires to be someday.  This move to Master Doug was a needed move so that T can continue moving forward in TaeKwonDo.  He loves everything about TaeKwonDo and not just the sparring aspect of it.  He will learn a lot being with Master Doug and he looks forward to having a growing relationship with him for years to come.  There's so much more to this Master than meets the eye.   #GodsPlan

I'm a 4th Dan Black Belt, and I have studied Taekwondo since the age of 8 years old. In 2013, I became the +80 kg Weight Division Fighter for the US Virgin Islands Taekwondo National Team as well as one of the Olympic Hopefuls to represent my country in 2016 for the Rio Olympic Games.

Since then I competed in 2014, at the Costa Rica Open and placed third, placed top 16 and qualified for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, and finished Quarterfinals at the 2016 Pan Am Olympic Games Qualifier in Aguascalientes.
