LaDell Beamon
KMA Young Warriors Certified Instructor, 2nd Degree Black Belt Taekwondo
LaDell discovered his passion at a young age when he began his martial arts training in Taekwondo and later Shotokan Karate. He found his calling when after witnessing gang violence in his neighborhood he devoted his life to helping At-Risk youth through the martial arts. He founded the Heal the Hood Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to community development.
LaDell started training at EKM in early 2019. Reflecting on how his martial arts training bore his life’s mission, LaDell believes that “if we experience change, we can help others experience change.” The Young Warriors Program focuses on becoming a better person by teaching self-defense, physical fitness, and life skills.
