Luke Noffke

Taekwondo has is many ways made me the person I am today. Starting my training as a young child, I learned many important life skills and lessons, such as respect, humility, integrity and self-discipline. Throughout many changes in my life, Taekwondo has been a positive and continual influence that helped keep me grounded and focused on my goals.

Luke Noffke began his Taekwondo training at the age of 8. Shortly after receiving his 1st Poom, he began teaching. Over, the years, he has had the opportunity to train hundreds and hundreds of students. While attending college he lobbied hard to have a Taekwondo program instituted into his college’s physical education program. His efforts made it through three of the five approval steps; however, ultimately the college did not approve the program. As a response, he founded the Noffke Taekwondo Academy in the winter of 1998. In addition, over the years he has helped well over 100 students, through one-on-one private lessons. In addition to his Taekwondo training, he has also trained in Hapkido and Ho Shin Sool, and has trained with several other black belts in many types of martial arts, exchanging and sharing knowledge; however Taekwondo has always been and will always be his passion. Presently, Mr Noffke teaches and trains 5-6 days per week under Master Mun at the America Taekwondo Center in Medford , Oregon.
