Where we came from

For over 30 years Marc Bailey trained hundreds of students in the art of traditional TKD. He started his training under Grand Master BK Park with Unified TKD and eventually went on to start his own school, separate from the Unified organization. All TAMA’s current black belts were privileged to have trained under him and not only learned the art of TKD but also were held to a high standard of living.

Marc embodied the tenets of TKD: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit. He stressed the importance of these attributes on his students and always cared more about their character and their attitude than he ever did about their skill level.

Marc went to live with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in September of 2023. TAMA now strives to continue to teach in a way that would make him proud and to continue his legacy.
