Journey Taekwondo

"ON A PATH TO PURPOSE"

How it Got Started

Mrs. Samantha Lecher began her martial arts journey when she was just 5 years old.  At the age of 12 she earned her black belt and continued to pursue her training to championship levels and has been recognized by the World Taekwondo Federation as a Master Instructor.  She currently holds the rank of 4th degree black belt and is excited to share this passion of hers with students!

Why  journey Taekwondo

Taekwondo is more than just kicks and punches—it builds confidence, discipline, focus, and respect. Students gain physical strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, while also developing important life skills like perseverance and self-control. Whether you're looking to improve fitness, learn self-defense, or grow in character, Taekwondo offers something for everyone.

Faith-Based Foundation
Our program is built on Christian values, integrating faith with training.  All classes will have a spiritual emphasis where we will lean into God’s Word as it parallels our aims as a Journey Taekwondo practitioner.  We emphasize integrity, humility, and servant leadership, encouraging students to grow not only as martial artists but also in their walk with Christ. Biblical principles are woven into our teaching to support strong moral character and a Christ-centered mindset. In each and every class, students are guided to see that they have an identity in Christ where they can find confidence and peace in knowing that they are not on this JOURNEY alone.

Class Commitment
For steady progress and skill development, we recommend attending at least two classes per week. Consistent training helps students retain techniques, build muscle memory, and stay motivated on their journey toward black belt and beyond.

Mission

Develop purposeful and confident leaders for Christ and to guide students to see that they have an identity in Christ where they can find hope and peace in knowing that they are not on this JOURNEY alone.  

Vision

Spread the word of God using taekwondo as a tool as described in Galatians 5:22 “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”

Purpose

Build relationships with families and students that will grow and develop over the course of their training and leave a lasting impact.
