I’ve been at Poos for eighteen years. I have achieved a 4th degree black belt in the traditional taekwondo program at Poos and a pink belt through the women’s program. Outside of self defense, I am finishing a degree in Professional Aviation from OSU and my first passion is painting!

Instructor

Kendra Hamstead

I am a purple belt in traditional TKD and have completed the women’s self defense program. I joined the women’s program after a friend sent me a flyer for the free class and I loved it and continued the program. After that I wanted to work towards my black belt and joined traditional TKD. Outside of TKD I work as an ER nurse
