Bully Defense by caring Instructors
Our Family of Masters #1 interest is in our students. Respect is a major focus to us as we train yet we try hard to let students feel safe with what they are learning. The total years of experience exceeds 121 years. All Masters are World Certified through Kukkiwon International. Our web address is Newwavema.com & Perryhalltaekwondo.com.
Working with our students young and old is the finest part of what I do. Watching and remembering each as they start and how they progress is refreshing and a matter of pride for our Family. Most schools focus on the money aspect of their growth while we charge less but enjoy the affection towards and from our students. Teaching is my passion. Getting to know each student is my honor.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
That actually depends upon the student. For instance, an Autistic Child warrants a different manner of training than a student without that trait. With Autistic children and children with ADHD, they are typically pulled aside for maybe a 10 minute lesson as holding their longer is expecting too much. The majority of students are brought right into regular classes and all are taught as a whole and separate by rank.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching this Art for about 29 years but my Family which includes my wife, Daughter and a Son but we are unique. First we are very close which translates into our interaction with ALL Parents and Students. We do NOT believe in Nickel and Diming Parents and Students and our school unlike EVERY school in Maryland practices what it preaches. For instance/ We practice paying it forward and are the only school in Maryland which has an extensive Scholarship program. An UNLIMITED Scholarship program to deserving families.
