KJN Russ Rocchi
KJN Russ Rocchi
Owner | Master Instructor “KJN Russ”
KJN Russ is the owner and master instructor of TKE Martial Arts. He began training in Taekwondo under GGM Ernie Reyes in 1976 and has continued expanding his knowledge through Eskrima, Kickboxing, Kenpo-Kung Fu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Thai Boxing, and other martial arts.
His greatest strength, however, is not simply his technical experience. It is his ability to recognize what each student needs, find what they are doing well, and help them believe they are capable of more.
KJN Russ created TKE’s unique curriculum by combining the strongest elements of Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Eskrima with practical lessons in confidence, discipline, accountability, perseverance, and respect.
He believes students grow through legitimate success—being appropriately challenged, learning from mistakes, and discovering that they can accomplish things they once thought were beyond them.
For KJN Russ, TKE is about much more than teaching martial arts techniques. It is about helping students see themselves differently, become stronger versions of themselves, and feel known, encouraged, and supported every time they step onto the mat.
Together with his wife, Mrs. Rocchi, he is proud to have created a martial arts school where students and families are treated like family and where every student is given the opportunity to succeed
