Ann Bottoms

Mrs Ann Bottoms is a 5th degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor. She started martial arts in 2002 at 39 years of age. She had been watching her son train and decided to join in because she saw no reason to just sit there watching when she could do it too. She received her instructors certificate in 2008. She won a National Champ title in 2011.

She says, “Taekwondo has helped me reach many personal goals in my life. I love being able to share it through teaching. You’re never too old to start and find your strength.”

Mrs Ann is the Chief Instructor at Refuge Martial Arts in Abbeville.
