Katie Perratone a seventeen year started training at the age of 4 and has her 3rd degree black belt. Tang Soo Do has helped me be independent and a good student. I stuck with Tang Soo Do because I have seen improvements in my skills as a student and as a teacher. As a teacher, I teach private lessons and I have helped develop and instruct the Lil’ Ninjas program.
