PRINCIPLES OF FORTIS TAEKWONDO & SELF DEFENSE
MEET JUSTIN BARRETT
Mr. Justin is prior law enforcement, a United States Air Force veteran and father of two. Having served overseas for nearly 3 of the 4 years of his active-duty enlistment. Born in 1983, in Montclair, California, Mr. Justin moved to Naples, Florida in 1989. In 1991, he took his first martial arts training class at Naples Academy of Martial Arts under the tutelage of Shihan Gino Cretella, who was a student of the late Grandmaster Gregory. Mr. Justin continued to train under Shihan Gino and later under Sigung Mark Thorson, Sifu Mike Dolan and Sifu Phyliss Weber in the martial arts of American Kenpo Karate and Pai Lum Kungfu. He trained on and off all the way until he was 28 years old. At this point, Sifu Mike Dolan and Sifu Phylis Weber had long retired from the martial arts community and Sigung Mark Thorson, the only remaining Pai Lum instructor in the area, decided to move away from the Naples area and be closer with his family. When Mr. Justin’s youngest daughter, and now fellow black belt, Madison, was born, he took an extended leave of absence from martial arts as a whole.
Several years later, Mr. Justin and his wife, had the idea to place their youngest daughter, Madison, into a martial art, to boost her self-esteem and confidence. Mr. Justin started sat in the back of the class, watching his daughter train, and decided he wanted to do Taekwondo as well. In 2018, Mr. Justin began his journey into Taekwondo under the instruction of then Master Hyde, Master Hartmann and Mrs. Sheila. During his training to become a black belt the idea to open his own school came to Mr. Justin. He wanted to continue the legacy and technique of traditional Taekwondo. Fusing Taekwondo with the Kungfu that he trained in for many previous years and created a unique and effective method of self-defense. Allowing for all manner of protection for all walks of life, be it elderly, children and anyone in between.
Mr. Justin achieved his deputy black belt in April of 2022 and his 1st Dan in April of 2023 and his 2nd Dan in April of 2024. His rank is recognized internationally by Kukkiwon, who is the international governing body of Taekwondo. He continues training and advancing to this day in Taekwondo and is the main instructor for all classes.
