Taekwondo is the skill. Conditioning is what carries it. Master Skye is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Council on Strength & Fitness — which is why the strength and conditioning work in this dojang is programmed, not improvised.

- Certified Personal Trainer — the credential Master Skye holds
- Certified Strength Coach
- Sports Nutrition Specialist
- Accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies
What The NCSF Is
The National Council on Strength & Fitness is a certifying body for exercise professionals, based in Coral Gables, Florida. It grew out of a community outreach program started at Florida International University in 1994, was established in its own right in 1996, and went international in 2004; its exams are now sat through Prometric in over ten thousand testing centers worldwide.
The part that matters is the accreditation. The NCSF board for certification is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies — the same independent standard that accredits credentials in healthcare and public safety — and it issues the Certified Personal Trainer credential Master Skye holds, alongside its Certified Strength Coach and Sports Nutrition Specialist credentials. It also helped found the Coalition for the Registration of Exercise Professionals, which set up the United States Registry of Exercise Professionals in 2014.

Martial arts schools are full of conditioning that exists because it looked hard. Push-ups until somebody cries is not a program. It is a mood.
This certification is the reason the warm-up, the strength work and the recovery in a Bulsajo class have reasons behind them, and the reason those reasons are different for a six-year-old, a thirteen-year-old and an adult. Children are still growing; loading them like small adults is how you injure them. Somebody in the room should know the difference, and here somebody does.
