Michelle Golino-Crisco
Sahyun 사현 Master
I am Master G, It took 38-impactful years to earn this title! I share this significant rank with less than 12 female Masters Internationally. "Master": having or showing great skill or proficiency. This monumental milestone marked the first half of my life, welcome to the second half...
I am a Certified International Instructor with over 40 years of Taekwondo expertise. My life's passion is empowering individuals of all ages and abilities, including those with disabilities. My journey is about more than just martial arts; it's a testament to resilience and transformation. As a young teen, I lost my father to gun violence—a case that remains unsolved to this day. This experience, and others have shaped my commitment to empowering souls to create safer communities.
In November 2021, I founded A Charity Empowered to Save Souls (ACETSS.org), and since then, over 5,000 individuals have been empowered through our impactful programs. What qualifies me to do this work? My extensive journey in Taekwondo has been marked by personal experiences of violence and aggression. I have led self-defense classes, coached students from ages 3 to 81, participated in two world championships, am a regular speaker and clinic instructor at the National Amputee Coalition, and mentored thousands in their martial arts journeys since 1997.
During the pandemic in 2021, I learned that a violent crime is committed every 25.6 seconds in the United States. This staggering statistic, combined with my personal journey, passion, and faith, inspired the creation of A Charity Empowered to Save Souls.
Today, our mission is not a one-woman show; our dedicated board members, member-athletes, ambassadors, donors, volunteers, and business partners play a crucial role in driving our impact. Discover how it all began, and join us on this transformative journey to witness miracle after miracle.
