High Performance is for students who have decided they want to compete, and want coaching that matches the ambition. It covers competition sparring, tactics, and the sport-specific conditioning that separates a good club athlete from someone who places at a national event.

Master Thomas runs it. He has competed at state level in Oregon, Washington and Florida, at USA Taekwondo Nationals in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014, and at a Pan-American tournament in 2012. He has trained at the US National Team camp in Colorado Springs, and holds a 3rd Class Kukkiwon International Master qualification earned in Seoul.

The results are recent, not historical: in April 2026 he coached two athletes to gold medals at USAT Florida State, in the men’s middleweight and women’s heavyweight divisions.
