It is with great sadness that I announce that I am closing my Taekwondo school. Throughout my 39 years as a taekwondo instructor and school owner, I have been blessed to have gotten to know many wonderful people—my students, their parents, extended family members, and friends. Most of my students came from military families, which allowed opportunities for each of my students (and for me) to learn about different parts of our beautiful country.
I look back on my time as an instructor proudly. I coached many students to become black belts, but more importantly, I have been able to witness their achievements outside of the studio as well. Many have gone on to become upstanding members of our community, military members, and professionals. I like to believe that this is in part due to the values they learned in the studio— integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit, courtesy, discipline, and respect.
I am forever grateful for the wonderful memories and friendships that will last me a lifetime. I hope that this will not be goodbye forever, and that our paths will cross again. Thank you, taekwondo family, for a wonderful 39 years!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Cole
