Dynamic Taekwondo

HistoryGrand Master Bernard Robinson and Grand Master Barbara Robinson started their Taekwondo journey under the tutelage of Master John Holloway at Gentle East in Bethesda, Maryland in the mid-1980s. When they relocated to Midlothian, Virginia they couldn't find a school that duplicated the quality of instruction and the culture that they had experienced under Master Holloway so they commuted to Maryland several times a month to continue their training. In 1987 the Robinson's decided to open and operate a school and Wood Lake Martial Arts was born. As the school grew the name was later changed to Gentle East Martial Arts of Virginia. In December 2016 the Grand Masters Robinson sold the majority share of the business to Master Eric Rangel-Ribeiro and Master Joshua Fracker and Resilient Taekwondo LLC / Gentle East Martial Arts was formed. Master Rangel-Ribeiro and Master Fracker, who have been students at Gentle East since 2004 are responsible for all aspects of the businessSpecialtiesTaekwondo and self-defense for ages 3 and up. For 3 and 4-year-old we focus on activities that are based on their Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social abilities.
