Senior Master Robin Johnson, who holds the rank of 8th Dan, is the head instructor of the Sheridan Taekwon-Do Club, located in Sheridan, Wyoming. He's a dedicated individual who works tirelessly for the benefit of USTF affiliated clubs here in the state. Here are a few words:

"I began my Taekwon-Do training in Ogallala, Nebraska when I was 29; my instructor was Mr. Chuck Beckus, III Dan. In 1985 I moved to Sheridan, Wyoming and within 1 month I joined Sheridan Taekwon-Do Club and the United States Taekwon-Do Federation. I trained under Mr. Jerry Drews, I Dan who moved away. Then Mr. David Lemons, II Dan. In 1994 Mr. Lemons retired and I became Instructor of Sheridan Taekwon-Do Club. Since then my instructor has been Grand Master Stan Martin, IX Dan of Casper, Wyoming.

"I aim to teach Taekwon-Do in the spirit of General Choi Hong-Hi, the founder of Taekwon-Do and in accordance with the United States Taekwon-Do Federation. In Wyoming I strive to keep a strong brotherhood and sisterhood and I support the unification of Taekwon-Do schools to build a solid block within the USTF.

"I value loyalty and dedication."

Sheridan is located in the northern part of Wyoming, nestled in the Big Horn Mountain Range. Sr. Master Johnson's club regularly hosts one of the quarterly testings each year, and the mascot is zealously guarded by all his students!

Mrs. Connell began training at Sheridan Taekwon-Do in 1997, having been a 'lobby mom' and 'lobby wife' for a couple of years. She began teaching at In-Nae International Taekwon-Do in Buffalo in 2001, and taught there until 2006. She also taught TaeKwon-Do at Sheridan College.
"Originally I hoped to gain some fitness and flexibility, and learn something new. TaeKwon-Do has given me so much more than that! It has provided opportunities to travel and compete, both nationally and internationally. In addition to the excellent instruction we have right here in Sheridan, I was fortunate enough to attend International Instructor Seminars with General Choi in 1999 & 2002, and USTF Instructor Courses, Referee Seminars, Self-Defense Courses, World Camps and Black Belt Workshops. What we learn through TaeKwon-Do - mental strength as well as self defense techniques - applies to our lives outside the gym... that is a huge benefit of training."

"The journey is the reward."

“Through the mental and physical aspects of Taekwon-Do, I strive to teach your children self-discipline and self-confidence.   The tenets that we adhere to – courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit – will guide us in class and through our daily lives.  It is my hope that through these tenets, goal setting, practice of the fundamental movements of Taekwon-Do and the knowledge of the history, that their characters will be built in such a way to succeed in whatever their life brings as well as being a positive influence to others around them. The values brought through the practicing of this martial art are invaluable to many.”
