Peter Iacangelo (Mr. Peter)
OWNER/MASTER INSTRUCTOR (Sabumnim)
Versatile. Precise. Entertaining. A 4th-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do under the tutelage of Master Simon Rhee, Peter Iacangelo is widely known for his incredible forms and intricate high kicks. His perseverance and learnings helped him rise to the top ranks of his sport quickly, earning a place on the United States Tae Kwon Do Junior Olympic Team, and later qualifying for the National Team. Prior to opening Action Tae Kwon Do & Cinematic Movement, Peter was the senior instructor for Simon Rhee Tae Kwon Do where he taught for nearly 30 years.
From the young age of six, martial arts taught Peter self-discipline as well as the rewards of competition. “It was always challenging for me, and I never got bored,” he explained. “I was like a sponge to learn the forms, the precision of the movements, and how it created balance for me physically and in my day-to-day life.”
His appreciation of the “art” of martial arts has helped him rack up multiple awards for his forms, but he has been equally drawn to the entertainment side of the sport as demonstrated by his time spent as Red Ranger on the live Power Rangers Tour and his repeated appearances doing stunts for notable TV and film productions. He has also expanded digitally by creating content for social media @stuntpete.
His love of teaching continues as brightly today as the first day he instructed students.
“Helping students find their path through Tae Kwon Do is some of the most rewarding moments in my life.”
