Social Impacto Taekwondo
Making a change, one by one
Social Impacto Taekwondo was founded by Professor Dennis Berdugo to start a community service initiative with the goal of giving impoverished kids the chance to learn the beautiful martial art that is taekwondo. Our goal is to provide these kids the values and abilities they need to avoid bad influences and lead successful lives. We help them adapt the discipline, respect, and tenacity we teach them via Taekwondo to their everyday life.
Victor Ortega has been an important mentor, collaborator, and advocate for this project. Since little he has been taught taekwondo by Professor Berdugo until becoming a black belt. He later wanted to join with Professor Berdugo on the project by imparting the fundamentals of Taekwondo to kids from different districts, including those with different discapacities and disorders. Our goal is to enable and motivate the upcoming generation to develop into courageous, successful adults who can make a constructive contribution to their communities.
