Master Gorino’s Pil-Sung Tae Kwon-Do in Amherst was established in 1994. Opening its door with seven students, the membership has grown to over 300 active adults and children. The school boasts the largest female student population in the state. Master Gorino teaches all classes. In addition to Master Gorino the certified staff of black belts and enthusiastic members of the D.E.L.T.A. team provide assistance during class. The school’s emphasis is more than self-defense; it is self-improvement. The development of self-confidence, self-discipline, and respect, enables students to resolve and avoid confrontation.
