It was January of 2003, I was in sixth grade and I decided to join Chay's Tae Kwon Do after I saw Master Chay give a demonstration at my school.  I earned my black belt in December of 2006 and I have been teaching at Chay's ever since.  I am on the Demonstration Team and I am currently striving to become a member of Team Extreme.  I enjoy working with all age groups, including Little Ninja's and I find that my students are my motivation.  I am a Sophomore at Wm. Horlick High School and after graduation, I plan on joining the United States Marine Corps and work on my bachelor's degree in criminal justice.

My hobbies include motorcycles, racing, reading, movies, music and learning about other forms of martial arts.

I have been a student at Chay's for 10 years. I go to Horlick High School and have been teaching for 3 years. I am an instructor for the Little Ninja and Tae Kwon Do programs. I enjoy working with all ages of students and love to see them smiling and working hard.

My hobbies include playing the violin, playing softball, school clubs, and reading.

Andy Harron is one of the newest instructors in Krav Maga at Chay's Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga.  He has been studying Krav Maga for more than three years and finds it an excellent way to stay in shape and also excercise the mind.  He was drawn to Krav Maga by its philosophy of self defense techniques built off of natural responses, which provides maximum effectivness with minimum training.  Having a young family and a busy medical practice, he was also drawn to Chay's by the class schedule which allows many opportunities to train each week.  He looks forward to learning and teaching Krav Maga for many years to come.

Bryan Schmidt has been a student at Chay’s Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga for over 8 years.  He began his training in Tae Kwon Do where he achieved his black belt in 2002.  Bryan began training exclusively in Krav Maga shortly afterwards.  Bryan is attending the University Wisconsin-Parkside and is majoring in Criminal Justice.  He enjoys teaching students and helping them become more fit and more confident.
