Owner and instructor at Choe’s HapKiDo Martial Arts in Jefferson, Georgia, helping students grow through martial arts and HapKiDo classes.
William's interest in martial arts developed when he was a teenager. Unfortunately, he was not able to pursue his interest until later in life when he found Choe's HapKiDo. William enrolled his children in Choe's HapKiDo to spend quality time with them and to help them become stronger individuals. His passion to help students grew when he was asked to become an assistant instructor and was able to actively help the students with their learning. William has over two decades of experience coaching women and men's flag football teams that have won national titles. He is knowledgeable at working with students with varying learning styles.

As an adult, she was exposed to Choe's HapKiDo through her husband and fell in love with HapKiDo because of the sense of community and belonging. Mercedes' extensive background in management allows her to spot when students need encouragement and is always ready with the right support.
