Self Defense and Balance with Master G

Master G, Michelle Golino-Crisco, is a 7th-degree black belt—one of 3 women in the Unified International Taekwon-Do Federation to hold this title after four decades of Taekwon-Do dedication. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to empower souls and transform lives. Her journey began in 1980 in historic New Haven, CT. I was just twelve when she lost my father to gun violence, an experience that shaped her deep commitment to building safer, stronger communities. Taekwon-Do became her refuge, it gave her the strength to overcome personal tragedies, earn a spot on the USA Women’s Taekwon-Do Team, and eventually open her own dojang in 1997. Fast forward to 2021, during Covid, She founded A Charity Empowered to Save Souls (ACETSS.org) to give others the same opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive through authentic Taekwon-Do.
