Master Regis Lima
After training for 10 years in Brazil under Master Fabio Goulart (one of the most known Taekwondo athlete in Brazil ) he moved to U.S. in 1999, not speaking any word of English and with $ 500 that he borrowed from his Master, with a Dream that one day he could teach Taekwondo in the U.S.
And be able to teach not only the kicks and punches, but the Tenets of the Art as well: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Indomitable Spirit and Self Control.
So in 2001, Master Lima started teaching in community rec. centers in Pasco County/FL and in 2004 he opened up his first school. Since then, year after year the RLMA family keeps growing with loyal students and families.
