About

White Tiger Taekwondo was founded with a vision to bring expert martial arts training combining Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Judo to the Pace, Florida community. Located in the heart of Pace, we have built a strong reputation for excellence, serving students of all ages and experience levels with dedication and traditional values. We provide a safe, energetic, family-oriented atmosphere where every student can thrive and achieve their true potential.

Our founder, Master Hope Ozimek, began her martial arts journey in the 1990s, earning her black belt in just two years. With about 40 years of combined martial arts experience and expertise in Taekwondo, Hapkido, Judo, Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, and Krav Maga, Master Hope has dedicated her life to preserving and teaching the traditional values of martial arts while maintaining a modern approach to instruction. A 6th Degree Black Belt certified by both Kukkiwon and Jidokwan, she remains an active competitor and recently won multiple medals at the 2025 World Taekwondo Hanmadang. She established White Tiger Taekwondo to share her passion and comprehensive martial arts expertise with the community.

Today, White Tiger Taekwondo operates a welcoming facility in Pace, Florida, with dedicated certified instructors led by Master Hope Ozimek and Master Bradley Hamilton. Each instructor upholding the core principles of Taekwondo—courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
