ABOUT US

I'm Ariani, proudly holding a 3rd Dan Black Belt and serving as the head coach of Francis Taekwondo!

My journey in Taekwondo kicked off at the age of 6 under the guidance of my master, Mr. Habib Francis, a 7th Dan Black Belt. Fast forward to 15, and I found myself coaching not just Taekwondo but also other sports like gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and swimming. In 2018, I decided to roll with the punches (literally!) and dive into personal training because I enjoy encouraging others to smash their personal and fitness goals. Oh, and somewhere in there, I decided to tackle a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science degree which I completed in 2023! Looking ahead, I've got my sights set on a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology, kicking off in 2024.

Now, I started Francis Taekwondo to cater to individuals at every skill level, from the nervous beginner through to the mastered black belt. I'm all about growing your child's skills, boosting their confidence, and, most of all, having fun. While I do introduce fundamental moves during the class, the real magic happens through continuous practice, performance, and perfection at your child's speed.

I'm excited about the journey ahead, and I look forward to sharing the transformative power of Francis Taekwondo with all who join our community. If you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to discuss, feel free to reach out.
