Master Dexter fell in love with martial arts from a young age watching action and martial arts movies. A huge Bruce Lee fan, his training began as he cleaned a martial arts gym in exchange for training. Master Dexter’s humble beginnings and life experience have led him to understand and respect people of all backgrounds.
For him, Taekwondo is a way of life, an on-going journey. He believes that applying and following the 5 tenets of Taekwondo (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control & Indomitable Spirit) leads to a content and rich life. Master Dexter holds a history of competing as a high performance athlete at national and international stages. Along with an impressive teaching experience as a head and senior instructor, he is a 2x Junior National Palarong Pambansa Champion and a 2x NCAA Champion.
Master Thaila has been an instructor at Endurance Taekwondo for over five years and brings nearly two decades of Taekwondo experience to her role.

Instructor Stephanie’s Taekwondo journey began with uncertainty, but her passion for teaching blossomed when she joined the leadership team in 2019. Through volunteering and assisting students, she gained valuable teaching experience and, in 2021, was hired as an instructor, inspiring her to refine her skills further. Her dedication led her to join the Competition Poomsae team and later the High-Performance Poomsae team, where she advanced her techniques and competed in the Korean Consul Cup. Stephanie continues to set a strong example as an instructor, encouraging students to push their limits and excel in Taekwondo.

In 2018, instructor Logan was invited to join the leadership team, but took a break in 2020. After rejoining the team in 2021 and refining his taekwondo skills, he practiced teaching

Instructor Alex started Taekwondo at the age of four and was immediately hooked into the Taekwondo community. Once he became an intermediate level student, he started to explore all the different clubs. He tried sparring, blackbelt club and poomsae, but the poomsae club caught his eye and he has stayed with it. After graduating to the black belt program, Alex was then invited to the leadership team where he has developed all of his teaching skills, especially how to welcome the next generation of students.
Instructor Roman has been doing taekwondo for around 7 years and has recently joined the team of Endurance Taekwondo instructors. One of his favourite things to do during his own training classes is to focus on practicing kicks to help improve his technique. His favourite kicks are tornado and spinning hook kicks. It’s important for him to get a good workout with the friendly participants of the adult class and he always has a good time.
Instructor Roman was hired recently, after volunteering in the leadership team, helping out with spring break camps. His favourite part of teaching is when a student finally completes a technique that they have been struggling with for a long time. When it clicks for a student and they understand the technique, he feels really great about their accomplishment.
