Lori Henderson has been studying Taekwondo for over 10 years and has been an assistant instructor at Dynamic Martial Arts since 2006. She instructs the kids class on Thursday evening.

Master Paul Czerniak founded Dynamic Martial Arts in 1996. He is the organizations owner and chief instructor. He has been studying Taekwondo since 1985 and is a Kukkiwon certified fifth degree black belt. In addition to having over 20 years experience in Taekwondo, he has spent years studying Aikido, Jeet Kune Do and Ninjutsu. Master Czerniak instructs Monday and Thursday at Liberty and Tuesday and Friday Pleasant Hills.

“My personal goal is to provide a positive training experience for my students and to holding the prestige of the BLACK BELT. Like in real life, there are no shortcuts. Everything is earned through hard work, perseverance and dedication, otherwise, it would not have any value. ”

Kara Czerniak co-founded Dynamic Martial Arts with Paul in 1996. Their idea was to have a family-fun, family-focused martial arts business with an emphasis on quality instruction. Throughout that time they stayed competitive by competing mostly on the State Circuit. She is proud to have won medals alongside her students, making for a great team bonding experience. She even continued to compete (in poomse) at US Nationals throughout her 2nd pregnancy! Though that one slipped through her fingers, a National medal is still on her list of goals.
"Though 3 kids has slowed me down, I have continued to work behind the scenes. I am excited to see our growth with our 2nd location in Pleasant Hills, and plan to continue our tradition of quality and family atmosphere here. I am proud to have a husband who is such a positive example to children (ours and yours).

Ben Fawcett has been studying Taekwondo since 2001 and has been an assistant instructor at Dynamic Martial Arts since 2009. He is an assistant instructor on Mondays at Liberty and on Fridays at Pleasant Hills.
