Paul Teter was always interested in martial arts after seeing stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan in old Hong Kong cinema movies. He started training in 2008 after college and has been expanding his skills ever since.
After earning his TaeKwonDo 1st Dan in 2011, he began working as an instructor when he was asked to help hold targets for a children's class and experienced how good it felt to see them improve. Nothing brings a bigger smile to his face than seeing a student improve on their technique or gaining more confidence in themselves through Martial Arts.
Master Teter also trains in other disciplines including Kumdo (Korean Swordsmanship), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and most recently Muay Thai. He has a passion for learning new things and incorporating them into his teaching.
He and his wife Master Karen came to Dragon Gym following their Brazilian JuJitsu Professor Kevin Barr and immediately jumped in to start helping in the Kids TaeKwonDo and JuJitsu programs.
Outside the dojang, Master Teter enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and camping with his wife and their pets. He is passionate about movies and local wildlife. He currently resides in West Chester, Pennsylvania with his wife, three dogs, and two cats.
