Assistant Instructor
Arturo Chavez
Assists on the mat · Mon / Wed / Thu
Arturo assists Mundo Chavez across the Tang Soo Do program, working with students on technique, pad and shield drills, and sparring. Having a second ranked instructor on the mat means smaller groups get real attention — beginners are never left to work things out alone.
He is a second-degree black belt in judo and leads that program at the same dojo, so students who want to add throwing and groundwork to their striking can train both under one roof — see Indio Judo.
