Maria Pino
5th Degree Black Belt
Martial art schools are full of incredible people who have a passion to impact hearts. To aid in the development of students and families becoming their best self, and living their best life. Ms. Pino is that person, and there is no one like her. Her caring nature and warm heart is felt from the moment you walk in for your first lesson, to the day you celebrate your achievement of black belt!
Pino began her martial arts journey in 1995 after her son Master Jesse Pino and daughter Tavanee Pino were already training. She is currently a 5th Degree Black Belt and certified instructor under GTMA International (Global Traditional Martial Arts). She holds multiple State Championship and District Championship titles. After many years of competition and earning the silver medal, her perseverance broke through, and she became the 2017 World Champion in Traditional Sparring.
Every student and family of our school leans to Ms. Pino as if she was their second mother. She leads us all, carrying the values which are the pillars of our school and programs.
