Meet Your Hapkido Instructor

Team Mildenhall, meet Green Turner, Hapkido instructor at the RAFM Youth Development Center. Turner has more than 30 years experience which he shares with his students, and is committed to helping them develop the core principles to motivate and move them along their personal Hapkido journey. "I don't have these kids for years to develop, so I want them to have key takeaways to build their confidence

and make them excited to continue training," says Turner. By the physical and positive energy I witnessed in his students, he has done just that.

Stop in today to visit with Turner and find out more about this or contact the Youth Development Center for information about other instructional activities offered. Call: 01638 54 5437
