Ashley Martin-3rd Dan

I grew up in a few different places, but spent the longest time in Vienna, Austria. I played soccer for 10 years before getting into the martial arts in college. I studied Okinawan Gojo (Karate) with the Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan school in Columbia, Missouri for 6 years achieving my 1st Dan, while studying for my undergrad and graduate degees at Mizzou. I began training with the Tae Kwon Do Center about 3 years ago and even this karate girl is learning how to kick! I'm also a German and Art teacher in addition to assisting Mr. Ivester with his TKD classes at the YMCA.

Ashley earned her 3rd Dan September 2021.
