Meet Master Stumm

East Coast Karate opened its doors in 1997, founded by Michael DiPietro with a vision of building strong, confident students one class at a time. Nearly three decades later, that vision still guides everything we do.

Today, the school is led by Master Stumm, a 3rd degree black belt who loves helping kids become leaders both on and off the mat. Under this leadership, we continue to teach the traditional art of Tang Soo Do, blending discipline, respect, and skill in every class.

Since opening, more than 2,400 students have trained with us, and hundreds have gone on to earn their black belts. Every instructor on our team brings at least 6 years of training experience, ensuring students learn from knowledgeable, dedicated teachers.

At East Coast Karate, we're proud of our history and even more excited about the leaders we're building for tomorrow.
