After many years of teaching for others, Mrs. Golino decided it was time to teach for herself. An opportunity arose in 1997 when she was offered funding by a parent of one of her students. Eastern Taekwon-Do opened August 18, 1997. The school quickly outgrew its 900 sqft location and moved to a larger 1300sqft location in September 1999. Eastern Taekwon-Do is more than just a martial arts school.
Members become a second family and socialize outside of practice.
Mrs. Golino brings students, parents and providers together by celebrating holidays, anniversaries, promotional parties and much, much more. She stresses to all who participate in the martial arts that students are not there simply to practice and go home. Martial arts is a way of life that promotes balance and well-being for an individual's social, work and family life. Mrs. Golino holds a BS Degree in Accounting and performs subcontract accounting work for a few companies from her home office. Inc. Mrs. Golino works from her home during the day while raising their daughter and runs the school at night.
