🥋 HOW DO WE EMPOWER CHILDREN AT TTF?

We give them opportunities to discover just how capable they really are. ❤️

These two TTF Little Tigers girls chose to step into our optional Olympic Sparring classes—put on the gear, face different partners, and put in the rounds.

No one made them do it. They wanted the challenge. THAT is empowerment.

At Total Taekwondo and Fitness, we teach far more than kicks and punches. We help children build:

💪 Confidence to believe in themselves
🎯 Focus and discipline to reach their goals
🥋 Respect for themselves and others
🔥 Resilience when things get difficult
👊 Self-defense skills to feel more prepared
❤️ Friendships and a community where they belong

We give kids a place to try, struggle, learn, succeed, and SHINE. Because every child deserves the opportunity to discover what they’re capable of.

🥋 FIRST CLASS FREE! Come experience the difference at TTF.

🔥 CONFIDENCE IS MORE THAN HOW YOU WALK INTO A ROOM.

It’s knowing your safety, voice, boundaries, and instincts matter.

Confidence starts with believing:

💯 My safety matters.
✋🏾 I have the right to say NO.
🧠 I can trust my instincts.
💪🏾 I can set and enforce boundaries.
✅ I can be prepared without living in fear.

That’s what we work to build at Total Taekwondo and Fitness.

Whether your goal is confidence, fitness, practical self-defense, new skills, or simply challenging yourself, we’ll meet you where you are and help you grow.

PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, TEENS & ADULTS:

🥋 Martial Arts & Self-Defense
🥊 Hit & Fit Boxing/Kickboxing Fitness
👊 Olympic Taekwondo Sparring
👌 Weapons Classes
🙌 Upstairs Gym for adults & parents
✅ Private Lessons & Group Training
🥳 Birthday Parties & Special Events

No experience necessary. You don’t need to “get in shape” before you start.

Come as you are.

We’ll help you become stronger, healthier, more confident, and more empowered—one class at a time.

Yesterday, I was honored to be the featured presenter for the WCR Dayton Ohio Network, teaching personal safety and self-defense.

When you understand your options, trust your instincts, and have a plan, you carry yourself differently.

My goal isn’t to teach people to live in fear.
It’s to help people move through life feeling more aware, more prepared, more capable, and more confident.

Confidence isn’t believing nothing bad will ever happen.It’s believing that if something does happen, you’re better prepared to respond.

🥋 NOW SCHEDULING SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING

Private Lessons • Group Training • Businesses • Sports Teams • Teen & Women’s Groups • Friend Groups • Schools • Organizations • And More

The time to prepare is BEFORE something happens.

With 46 years of martial arts experience and training in Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Kali, my passion has always been giving people practical knowledge and real-world skills that can help protect themselves and others.

Self-defense is valuable for everyone:

• Children learning confidence and how to respond to bullying
• Teens developing awareness and stronger boundaries
• Women wanting to feel safer and more prepared
• Businesses training employees in personal safety
• Sports teams strengthening awareness and mindset
• Adults who simply want practical self-defense skills

Training can include:

• Personal & situational awareness
• Trusting your intuition
• De-escalation strategies
• Domestic abuse-related safety considerations
• Practical, real-world self-defense skills

I’ve had the privilege of working with organizations and groups including:

Artemis Center • Alter High School Soccer • Dayton Bar Association • The Beauty Boost – Dayton • Dayton Metro Library • Camp MEE • Evolve Women’s Network • CrossFit Dayton • Dayton Track Club • Key4Women – KeyBank • South Metro Safety Council • Centerville High School • Oakwood Moms Group • Kettering PRIDE • The Well • Fabletics at The Greene • Girl Scout & Boy Scout Troops • Runners Plus • Miamisburg Schools • Hot Mess Sports Dayton • The Rubi Girls • Reynolds and Reynolds • Roderer Shoe Center • YWCA • YMCA • Women in Business Networking • KidzFest at Fraze Pavilion • and numerous private groups, businesses, and organizations.

I’m grateful to have been recognized as:

🏆 Speaker of the Year
🏆 Woman of Impact Award
🏆 AAU Hall of Fame
🏆 United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame
🇺🇸 Former USA Olympic Taekwondo National Team Member
🥇 World Medalist

But above any title, award, or accomplishment, I am also a SURVIVOR.

That is part of why this work means so much to me. You are worth defending.

Everyone deserves the knowledge, awareness, skills, and confidence to take greater ownership of their personal safety. Empowerment should be the standard, not the exception.

📅 UPCOMING TRAINING
SEPTEMBER 27: Roderer Shoe Center
SEPTEMBER: Private Event at TTF
OCTOBER: Private Event at TTF

Private groups, businesses, semi-private lessons, self-defense parties, and one-on-one instruction are available at Total Taekwondo and Fitness-TTF or at your location.

📩 DM me or email [email protected] to schedule.

Everyone deserves to feel safer. Everyone deserves to feel prepared. ➡️Please share with someone or a business who could benefit from self-defense training.

🥋 THE SPINNING BACK KICK! 🔥

A spinning back kick to the ribs, kidneys, or chest is one of my favorite kicks used in martial arts, fighting, and self-defense!

But a powerful kick is about more than simply making contact. Here are some key points I teach:

✅ Follow Through—Recoil your foot or land in a balanced position so you’re ready for your next move.

✅ Stay Engaged—Never treat the kick as a standalone technique. Be prepared to follow with another strike, defend, create distance, or escape.

✅ Use Good Footwork—Your landing should allow you to remain in range or safely move away.

✅ Practice Combinations—Drill the kick with follow-up punches and kicks to build muscle memory and become less predictable.

✅ Visualize the Entire Sequence—See the kick, the landing, and your next move before you execute it.

✅ Control Your Breathing—Exhale sharply as you strike to improve your power, stamina, and focus.

Don’t focus only on landing the kick. Focus on the entire process—before, during, and after impact.

We had a great classes at TTF starting out another week!

Most people think a groin strike is about pain.

It’s not. It’s about DISRUPTION.

In self-defense, there are no guarantees—no magic technique and no move that works every time.

Stop asking:

“Will this take them down?”

Start asking:

“Will this interrupt them long enough for me to make my next move?”

A groin strike may create hesitation, break an attacker’s focus, or give you a brief window to act.

That window matters.

➡️ DISRUPT
➡️ CREATE SPACE
➡️ ESCAPE

At Total Taekwondo and Fitness, we teach practical self-defense, awareness, confidence, and resilience to children, teens, and adults.

No experience is necessary. Come as you are—we’ll meet you where you are!
