Logan Stewmon, 4D - former Head Instructor

Logan was the school's head instructor until he left for college in 2017. The salutatorian of the 2017 Enterprise High School senior class, he recently completed an undergraduate degree in Engineering at Auburn University and is on his way to becoming, in his words, "king of Stewopolis." He certified as an ATF instructor in June, 2015 and re-certified in June, 2018. Logan competed in the 2014 ATF National Championship series in the Boys 13-15 division; the 2016 Mens 3rd and Up division; and the 2017 Mens 3rd and Up division, finishing second each time. He won a total of 5 Gold and 3 Silver medals in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 Alabama State Games earning him an invitation to the 2015 National State Games of American where he earned a Silver medal in the Boys 15-17 division. He will be sorely missed but plans on returning for various testings and tournaments throughout the year.
Chase Johnson, 3SR - former Head instructor

Chase, who certified in June, 2013 and re-certified in June, 2016, was the school's head instructor for several years until work commitments forced him to curtail his TKD hours. A new job allowed him to return to the Dojang and resume his duties as Head Instructor until he enlisted in the USAF and was assigned to the Space Command. Chase has been studying TKD since the age of 8 and also dabbles in Keichu Do, a Cajun-form of Karate. Chase has competed in several ATF and Open tournaments and holds his own against his fellow instructors; both of whom live to compete! Injured before the XXXIII Alabama Games, Chase was asked to judge forms, point sparring, Olympic sparring, and board breaking but did compete in the XXXIV Alabama Games in 2016 earning 3 Bronze medals and the 2018 Games earning one Gold and one Bronze.
Ron Roland, 4D - School Owner and Chief Instructor, Emeritus

Ron is a retired Marine Corps SGM who is about to retire from his second career as a JROTC instructor at Northview High School in Dothan. Ron began as a student of Taekwondo at the Y in 1995 and became the school owner and chief instructor in 2000. He retired in December of 2015 having the largest per capita of black belts for any ATF school. He made certain his program adhered to the tenets of TKD and that all his students were successfull in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Ron's students have had great success in the sport, winning at numerous ATF tournaments as well as several state and even national championships. Winning at that level is a team effort, but it starts with the leader - the coach - the mentor. Mr. Miyagi would be proud.

Carol Dreilinger, 2D

They also act as liaison between the chief instructor and his staff and the students and their parents. They wear the Senior Leader patch on their uniforms to designate their unique status and are also charged with stepping in whenever they feel the interests of the school and/or the student warrant their actions.
