Our Leadership
My name is Master Eric Madden, and I began my Taekwondo training in 2001. I found out about the Sell Team (An evangelistic Taekwondo team) while living in Florida. After moving to Virginia, I traveled back to Florida to have my very first lesson ever with Grandmasters Edward and Brenda Sell (The highest ranked couple in the world)!
I then went back to Richmond Virginia, took some time to train, and opened my first school (Breakthrough Christian Taekwondo). While teaching here (from 2001-2011), I successfully tested for and received my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Degree Black Belts.
I became the Senior Instructor of Kingdom Warriors Christian Martial Arts (2011-2017) after moving to Northern Virginia. During this time, I successfully tested for and received my 4th and 5th Degree Black Belts.
I now have opened, and am the Senior Instructor of, a new school: Madden Taekwondo Academy! This past summer (2021), I successfully tested for my 6th Degree Black Belt. My credentials are held with the United States Chung Do Kwan Association (www.uscdka.com). I am also currently the Children’s Pastor at Real Life Church in Woodbridge, VA.
