"My passion is teaching and my vision as an instructor is to help each student perform to the best of their ability, giving them the tools to achieve their personal goals and dreams."
This quote sums up the passion and dedication of Legacy Taekwon-Do’s Head Instructor, Ms. Franca Facciolo. After 18 years of training and traveling the world for various International Championships and tournaments, Ms. Facciolo achieved her lifelong goal in 2003: opening her own Taekwon-Do school. Legacy Taekwon-Do is the result of Ms. Facciolo’s determination, ambition, and drive. In March of 2006, Ms. Facciolo was promoted to a 6th Degree Black Belt in Taekwon Do, one of her greatest accomplishments to date.
As an adolescent, Ms. Facciolo demonstrated interest in a variety of athletics; however, her passion for Martial Arts, specifically the art of Taekwon-Do, superseded all others. Ms. Facciolo’s determination and enthusiasm have led her on a path of great success.
Ms. Facciolo has gone above and beyond to advocate for women’s rights. Combining her Taekwon-Do expertise, with her altruistic character, she has conducted workshops and seminars on women's self-defense and the importance of understanding both the differences and similarities among women across the globe. Her certifications, championships, and awards have led her to become a significant contributor to the art of Taekwon-Do. Her dedication, combined with her ambitious nature, has enabled her to achieve her objectives and ultimately, her dreams.
