Master Justin Bucicchia HTA was created from the partnership of four Korean Masters with a combined 90 plus years of Martial

Once an owner of HTA Martial Arts Academy in Athens, Georgia, Justin Bucicchia has dedicated his life to helping others discover confidence, discipline, and respect through Tae Kwon Do. A 4th Dan Black Belt certified by Kukkiwon, Justin has been part of the martial arts community for nearly three decades. His journey began at just nine years old, training under Master Sung Yong Kim at USA Tae Kwon Do Academy in Lawrenceville. Over the years, he developed not only his physical skill but also a deep appreciation for the mental and spiritual aspects of the art. Competing in state-level tournaments, Justin earned top placements in forms (poomsae), sparring, and board breaking, experiences that shaped his competitive spirit and teaching philosophy. In 2012, Justin joined Master Youngjin Lee at HTA Martial Arts, where he refined his technique and began mentoring younger students. After earning his black belt in 2013, he took on a leadership role in helping to establish HTA Martial Arts Academy’s Athens location in 2015. By 2019, his dedication and vision led him to become owner and chief instructor of the academy. HTA Athens has become a cornerstone of the local community — a place where students of all ages learn more than self-defense. Justin emphasizes the lifelong values of Tae Kwon Do: respect, perseverance, and humility. His teaching style blends traditional Korean martial arts with modern coaching techniques, creating a supportive environment that inspires personal growth and confidence both on and off the mat. Unfortunately, in October of 2025, HTA was closed, however, students were moved to a new school under Master Yu of New Revolution Tae Kwon Do. Master Justin is an active trainer and is continuing the pursuit of advancing Tae Kwon Do. Master Justin is currently teaching at World Class Tae Kwon Do in Suwanee under Grandmaster Chris Kim and Head Master Andy Seo. Beyond the dojang, Justin is active in mentoring young instructors, hosting local demonstrations, and promoting community engagement through martial arts. His philosophy is simple: “Tae Kwon Do isn’t just something you do — it’s something you live.”
