Hi ! I'm Shawn Salemi, I am French American, born in Paris France. I moved to New York city as a child. I was introduced to Tae Kwon Do around the age of 12. I love the confidence, and strength Martial arts gave me. With every belt earned I felt a great sense of achievement. Once I reached my first back belt, I started competing in interstate tournaments. The sense of community and support was like nothing I had experienced before. I then decided to follow my heart, and started teaching Martial Arts. Today i am a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and a certified NCSF personal trainer. I love sharing my passion for self improvement. I have thought martial arts and all around fitness to all ages for over a decade. I believe Martial arts is not only about punching and kicking, but developing a strong sense of confidence, learning about respect, and growing a sense of community all the while having fun. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
