In January of 2009, we became a part of Peak Performance, which is a high caliber athlete development and training program for Sport Taekwondo.  This group of athletes trains very hard and all are committed to excellence in Sport Taekwondo.  Under the direction of Coach Russell Beneby and supported by former Olympian and Peak Performance owner, Juan Moreno, our athletes are well prepared to achieve great things in this sport.  Coach Beneby and Coach Moreno are both members of the U.S. Olympic Team Taekwondo coaching staff.

Please visit our school and watch the team train.  We know that you will be impressed.

Any student at Self Defense America or any other school may join the competition team as long as they show commitment, drive, and a willingness to be the best that they can be.  See Coach Beneby for details and tuition information.

 


Congratulations to our own Alyssa Rosenberg!  Alyssa was chosen to represent the U.S.A. in Taekwondo competition by the U.S.A. team coordinators of the 2009 Maccabiah Games.  The games are held once every four years in Israel.  Alyssa has "Won the Gold Medal" in her division at the games.  We are all very proud of her and her accomplishments.

The team just loves to eat
 
Somebody had to pay for the kids meals
     

Sightseeing is a big part of our trips
 
There was lots to do in Austin
     

Competition trips are also about having fun
 
These aren't the boats they started with
     

The kids table is always a lot more fun
 
It seems like we're always eating
