Meet Instructor Josh Schaffer!

Josh Schaffer’s Martial Arts Journey:

I spent most of my life on the field and the court. Growing up, I was all about team sports, primarily soccer and basketball, and I even spent several years on the sidelines coaching soccer. The idea of stepping into a dojang to learn martial arts was never on my radar. That all changed when I was presented an opportunity to spend more time with my sons. I signed up for Taekwondo simply as a way to do something active as a family. What started as a family activity quickly turned into a profoundly personal experience. It’s been incredibly humbling to start something completely new as an adult. There’s a powerful lesson in that initial struggle: it’s healthy to challenge yourself and dive into new endeavors, even when you’re far from an expert. My Taekwondo journey is proof that growth happens outside your comfort zone, and I’m still learning every day.
