For over 30 years the East Coast Taekwon-Do association has been partnered up with the Newman YMCA of Seekonk MA to provide quality and affordable karate classes to anyone who wants to learn.

Instructor

The class at the YMCA is taught by Chris Pagliarini a fifth degree black belt. He has been the head instructor at the Y for the past 15 years. He studied under Jery Potenza, sixth degree black belt, who is very accomplished martial artists and a great mentor with more than 35 years of experience.

Classes

There are currently three different levels of classes at the Y: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.  Students must progress through the levels by starting in the beginner classes, sometimes exceptions will be made for students coming from different schools but you must speak with the instructor first.  For more information on our classes please see the classes page.
