MEET OUR TEAM
ENDURANCE TAEKWONDO
Endurance Taekwondo was established in 2014, by Master Milad Bahrami. Our students range from the ages of 4-70 years old and travel from all over the lower mainland to train with our excellent instructors.
Our Black Belt Instructors here at Endurance Taekwondo are some of the best in their craft; teaching dynamic martial arts classes which seamlessly balance exercise, skill development, and personal development. Through this, we instill a sense of confidence, pride, and motivation in our students so that they will continue to bring out the best in themselves, both in and out of class.
FIRST AID & CERTIFICATION
Our instructors are certified under the Canadian Red Cross Level C Standard First Aid & CPR. The health and safety of our students are a top priority; we’re proud to have a team equipped with the knowledge to respond to events from minor scrapes to life-threatening emergencies
Master Milad Bahrami, like most lifelong Martial Artists, got involved in Taekwondo as a kid who loved watching martial arts movies. His passion only grew stronger during his teen years, as he competed in Olympic Style Taekwondo on a National level.
During University, Master Milad also worked full-time as the youngest Head Instructor of Grand Master Ji Sun Choi’s “Choi’s Martial Arts”. He continued to excel in the role as Head Instructor for Master Tony Kook’s Academies: North Shore Taekwondo, West Vancouver Taekwondo, and Bowen Island Taekwondo.
Master Milad’s key philosophy is that Taekwondo has something to offer for everyone; Taekwondo is a vehicle for developing your potential. Training will relieve stress, improve focus, and instill confidence that will reflect in daily life.
Master Dexter fell in love with martial arts from a young age watching action and martial arts movies. A huge Bruce Lee fan, his training began as he cleaned a martial arts gym in exchange for training. Master Dexter’s humble beginnings and life experience have led him to understand and respect people of all backgrounds.
For him, Taekwondo is a way of life, an on-going journey. He believes that applying and following the 5 tenets of Taekwondo (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control & Indomitable Spirit) leads to a content and rich life. Master Dexter holds a history of competing as a high performance athlete at national and international stages. Along with an impressive teaching experience as a head and senior instructor, he is a 2x Junior National Palarong Pambansa Champion and a 2x NCAA Champion.
Instructor Belinda leads the Competition Patterns Team and the High-Performance Poomsae Program. She trains students in the proper execution of basic techniques and the understanding of key performance elements. As a high-performance athlete herself, she competes at national and international events. Among many achievements, she had the privilege of representing Team Canada at the 2020 World Poomsae Championships.

Instructor Rachel was introduced to Taekwondo by her brother, who, after completing a free trial class, immediately was enthralled with Taekwondo. Although her parents thought she wouldn’t last more than a month, Instructor Rachel developed a passion for the sport and has been training for close to a decade.
Instructor Rachel joined the Leadership Team in 2019 and discovered great joy in instructing. She was thrilled to be hired as an instructor in 2021. She enjoys connecting with students and making them feel welcome. She especially relishes seeing the smiles on students’ faces when they master a technique or learn something new.
Instructor Rachel has been working on perfecting her own Taekwondo skills as a member of the High-Performance Competition Pattern Team. She has competed at tournaments and continues to push herself to become fitter, more robust and healthier in all aspects of her life.

As a beginner and intermediate student, Instructor Stephanie was not very keen on Taekwondo. However, she developed a passion for teaching when she was invited to join the leadership team in 2019. As a leader, she gained teaching experience by volunteering and assisting students multiple times a week. In August 2021, she was hired as an Instructor, further motivating her to improve her skills. When the Competition Poomsae team was created, she was eager to join. She picked up new techniques quickly and was invited by Instructor Belinda to join the High-Performance Poomsae team, where she developed her patterns and brought them to a new level. She later competed in the Korean Consul Cup in late 2021.
Stephanie continues to strive to become a talented instructor and to encourage the students of Port Moody Taekwondo to push themselves to be the best martial artists they can be.
