Founder & owner

Master Matt Majesky

Master Matt Majesky is a 6th degree black belt in the International Taekwondo Federation and Kukkiwon World Taekwondo, and the founder and owner of Movement Family Martial Arts in Indian Trail. Anyone who knows him, the school says, knows that martial arts is his lifelong passion.

He has been continuously training for 23 years, including 20 years as an instructor and master instructor, in both family-run and corporate-owned schools. His lifelong mentor and teacher is Grandmaster Abhai Singh Rathore, 8th Dan Kukkiwon. That relationship impressed on him the values of kaizen: continuous improvement of self and others.

As a local resident owner, he works with parents so the school can extend the support students get at home and at school, and so people of all ages can train together.

Instructor Tripp

Instructor Tripp is listed as the Krav Maga instructor and teaches the ages 13 & up Krav Maga classes on the published schedule. The official instructor page does not include a written biography, so this concept does not invent one.

Families who leave reviews on the official site also often mention Ms. Leah (sometimes “Ms. L”) alongside Master Matt, especially with kids and summer camp. She is not listed on the current instructors page, so her exact role should be confirmed with the school.
