Axe Taekwon-Do was established at Offutt Air Force Base in 2004, continuing a Taekwon-Do class with roots at the Youth Center before the Axe name.
Before Axe Taekwon-Do
From 1992 until April 2004, the class was known as Meek’s International Taekwon-Do under Senior Master Gary W. Meek.
Founded in 2004
After Senior Master Meek’s departure, Master Ricky J. Todd and Mr. Kevin A. Bushor formed Axe Taekwon-Do. The school became an authorized member of the United States Taekwon-Do Federation (USTF). Both founders had trained with the USTF throughout their martial arts careers.
Growing the instructor team
April Bowing joined the teaching staff in 2009. She continues to appear among the school’s senior instructors.
