Spirit Taekwon-Do

Mr Brett Kraiger, III Dan, will be moving out of the role of instructor at Spirit Taekwon-Do Brooklyn and into a Head Instructor role within the Spirit Group. As Head Instructor he will be assisting the instructors with their own training and knowledge of Taekwon-Do. He will also be holding special classes for Spirit members throughout the year. These will consist of seminars on particular topics, combined trainings, or taking classes as a guest instructor at one of Spirit Taekwon-Do's usual training sessions.

Mr Kraiger has been doing Taekwon-Do for more than 20 years and instructing for more than 13. He has a particular interest in the technical side of Taekwon-Do, including patterns and the theory of Taekwon-Do movement. He is also passionate about how training in Taekwon-Do can develop skills applicable in day-to-day life.


Mr Benjamin Wylie-van Eerd, III Dan, will be taking over the instructing role at Brooklyn on Thursday nights. Ms Louise Chan will continue to take Sunday trainings. Mr Wylie-van Eerd has been doing Taekwon-Do for 9 years, and really enjoys flying kicks! He also hopes to use his knowledge of physics to develop excellent technique. (He’s working towards his Ph.D in physics!)
