Hello! My name is Master Jared Giordano! I am the Owner and Chief Instructor at Giordano's ATA Martial Arts in Murrieta and Temecula! Proudly serving our Murrieta Community for 14 years and our Temecula Community for 10 years! I am 6th Degree Black Belt in Songahm Taekwondo under the American Taekwondo Association (ATA Martial Arts). I have been training since I was 11 years old, about 24 years, and teaching since I was 14 years old, about 21 years! My reason for becoming an instructor and school owner is to share my passion for martial arts and how it can save and change anyone's life as it did mine! Growing up, I had a very hard school life, being severally bullied and struggled with self-esteem, confidence, negative emotions, negative core beliefs, and the list goes on! When I begin my journey at 11 years old, throughout my training of self-defense and fitness, I have learned the skills of life and physical skills to defend myself and be the best ME that I can be! With finally being free of the bullying, I gained more friends and my life was changed forever. Therefore, I wanted to be an instructor to help other people not go through the same things I did, or perhaps intercept them to help them out of what they are currently going through! Through the martial arts, we will change lives for all students to develop not just self-defense skills, but the reach the successful keys of life such as Discipline, Respect, Confidence, Communication, Attitude, and so much more! A little more about me, I am also the 2011 Black Belt of the Year, 2014 Regional Appreciation Award, 2014 World Champion, 50+ State Champion Titles, 2x District Champion, 2016 Instructor of the Year, 2021 Master Instructor Inductee
