Meet Lawrence Archer

Head Instructor, 5th Dan A-5-295

My interest in martial arts began, possibly like you, at a young age. I realized early in my journey that my training would become more than just a hobby. Taekwon-Do influenced me past the training floor, and touches almost every aspect of my life.

As a 5th degree black belt, I continue to train under the instruction of my Chief Instructor, Mr. Scott Saccareccia (6th Dan) and Secretary General of the Original Taekwon-Do Federation of America (OTFA). I’ve also had the privilege to train with both Gen. Choi and Master Affatigato, President of the OTFA. I continue to compete Regionally, Nationally, and Internationally as well.

Taekwon-Do has grown into a passion that has helped me create great life-long friendships, has allowed me to travel to different parts of the world and find a home where like-minded people are always striving for excellence. I hope to inspire you to challenge yourself every day, to show courtesy, have integrity, practice self-control, and always persevere with indomitable spirit! I look forward to enhancing your Taekwon-Do experience by sharing my passion of the Art. Taekwon!!
