History
Young Brothers Tae Kwon Do – Bellaire is one of the longest running martial arts schools you can find. Grandmaster Mark Giambi opened the doors to our first location in 1981. After that, we’ve opened three other locations in the past 44 years, building Young Brothers more and more. This included adding competition in the 1990s in affiliation with AAU so our younger students could compete. Grandmaster Mark has spent much of his illustrious martial arts career leading Young Brothers. With 50+ years of training and teaching experience, Mark always wanted to make his life martial arts focused. He has learned from his experiences to overcome failure. Failure is going to happen, it’s about getting back up.
