We loved seeing our students and their families tonight at Meet The Teacher and Supply Drop Off! We even got to shake the hand of a National Taekwondo champion🤯

Adriel from Chang Lee's Teakwondo Center in Mesquite where he has been training for almost 2 years, became a GOLD MEDALIST in Dragons division 23kg in the USA Taekwondo National Championship this summer! He had to train up to three times a day for six days a week. He secured 1st place after sparring against two opponents, one from California and another from New York. He's the number one seed to compete at USA Taekwondo Finals in September.
