Instructor/Owner Adam Bugala
Mr. Adam Bugala is a 3rd Degree Black Belt and certified instructor with the World Tang Soo Do Association with over 15 years of martial arts experience. His journey in the martial arts began at the age of 10, when his parents enrolled him in a local karate class to help him better learn to control his temper. During his training he began to notice the progress he was making not just as a martial artist, but also toward becoming a better person. This has evolved into a passion for teaching, and as an instructor Mr. Bugala has dedicated his life to helping his students experience the same growth.
