FMA Chief Instructor

FMA Chief Instructor, Matt Spang can be found teaching most every FMA class and event, assisted by our Instructors, Assistant Instructors and our Leadership Students. Mr. Spang has earned a stellar reputation not only as a high ranking martial artist among his peers, but also as a wonderful, caring and dynamic instructor of martial arts for kids and adults alike.

Having studied and competed nationally for over 12 years, Mr. Spang brings vast experience to our Traditional Taekwondo training. In addition to his skills, his personal demeanor and zany antics make for a fun training environment for even the shyest child, often breaking through any trepidation quickly and earning their trust, making our studio a fun and safe place to learn.

What Mr. Spang does best is teach children how to improve their overall fitness, master Taekwondo, overcome obstacles, set and achieve personal goals, and inspire others.
