Akula Taekwondo is a great place to learn respect, discipline, honor, humility and to focus. Master Tegler is a kind and patient teacher while building self-confidence, character, and skill in students through mental and physical discipline. His students respect and look up to him. My grandson has gained so much confidence in the 10 months he has been attending. His personality was very shy and insecure, but now he has grown into a very self confident 6 year old. We are so proud of the hard work he has put in (wanting to go everyday!) We look forward to seeing him continue to grow mentally and physically over the years time come.

We love Akula Taekwondo!! We have been going consistently over the past few months and I have a seen a positive change in my child. Akula has taught my son discipline, focus, respect, and of course Taekwondo! All of the instructors have been fantastic in their teachings and the look on my son’s face when he receives a stripe or new belt is priceless! I highly recommend Akula Taekwondo as a great extracurricular activity for any child!

Master Joseph Tegler

Biography

Master Joseph Tegler is a 4th degree Black Belt in Taekwondo (Kukkiwon), a 2nd degree Black Belt in Tang Soo Do (Korean Karate), and the founder of Akula Taekwondo.

Master Tegler has been training in Taekwondo for over a decade. He participated in tournaments throughout the Midwest and across the country. One year, at Michigan State Championships, he was the gold medalist in all categories: forms, sparring, and board breaking. He has also medalled at the international level and was ranked third in the country for his division, achieving the distinction of All American Athlete.

In addition to his passion for Taekwondo and the martial arts, Master Tegler loves Ukrainian Scouting, fishing, snorkeling, water-skiing, and pretty much everything on and in the water. When choosing a name for his school, he gave a nod to his Ukrainian heritage and to his love of the sea. Akula means shark in Ukrainian.

Master Tegler has been teaching martial arts for eight years. He loves everything about the job: kicking, fitness drills, and forms, teaching the skills and mindset he’s been cultivating most of his life, and just being on the mat.

Through Taekwondo training, Master Tegler developed leadership skills and confidence, learned to appreciate discipline, courtesy, and perseverance, gained an understanding of the value of self-control and integrity, and attained an indomitable spirit. It is his goal and mission to inspire his students to do the same.
