Master Meggie Presti

Master Meggie Presti is a 5th degree black belt master instructor examiner in WT/Kukkiwon-style taekwondo and holds additional black belts in several other styles. She is a multi-time USA national medalist, two-time USA National Champion, and 2023 US National Poomsae Team selectee.

Before bringing that experience to Adelaide, Master Meggie founded Core Taekwondo in Silicon Valley and, over 10 years, grew it from a traditional martial arts school into a thriving youth development community for students aged 3 to adult. Her programs expanded beyond the dojang into after-school care, school break camps, maker and entrepreneurship projects, and leadership pathways for middle and high school students.

Holdfast Taekwondo is inclusive by design, shaped by Master Meggie's deep understanding of taekwondo technique and brain development so students of all abilities can participate, progress, and feel successful.
