3rd Degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor: Mo Albarakat
Traditional Weapon Taught: Bo Staff & Katana
My name is Mo Albarakat and I am 16 years old. I started Taekwondo in 2015. I love going to tournaments to meet new people and make new friends. Everyone at Roanoke Taekwondo is kind and respectful towards others. I like helping to teach others and help them reach their goals. Being on the championship demo team is awesome and gives me a chance to explore some of the other aspects of martial arts.
Awesome place, our whole family participates! Good exercise and good fun for everyone!
It is such in amazing place to go learn and make friends. I have grown so much in my 4 years doing it.
Can't say enough great things about this school! The instructors are top notch! Mr. Abbott gets to know his students and makes sure each student receives individualized instruction when needed. He never lets students "slide" and encourages them to strive for excellence. There are multiple classes each week to choose from so kids involved in other sports, clubs or activities can still pursue those interests as well as learn Taekwondo.
