Our Head Instructor: Taralyn is a 6th Degree Master Instructor with a degree in Psychology and national certification in Refereeing and Coaching. She started Taekwondo with her two oldest children and fell in love when she saw how it was impacting their lives. Always a confident and athletic individual, she was amazed at how Taekwondo increased her confidence, discipline, focus, and fitness. As a long time athlete, she values how the martial arts combine mind, body, and spirit to create strong individuals. Taralyn had worked with at-risk teens for 15 years in various positions, including youth services and rape recovery, and recognized the value that martial arts could have on such fragile souls. With a strong desire to influence children and give them the tools to succeed before they were faced with such challenges, she opened Competitive Taekwondo Club (now Beyond Sports) with her friend and mentor Master James Bartholomew in 2002. She has been working with Children, Teens, and Adults ever since, teaching them how to have the confidence to stand up for themselves and create their own futures. In addition to her work at BST, she teaches self defense regularly at several high schools, junior highs, and elementary schools with the hope of instilling strength in the youth of her community. She has four children, two granddaughters, and a wonderful husband who supports her work. She is very blessed.
