Yulianna Schmidt is our Martial Arts USA Manager and has been training with Scott since 1999. She has competed in multiple cities, states, and countries in Taekwondo and has a passion for kicking things! She was raised in Sonoma County, and after graduating from Sonoma State University with a B.S. in Chemistry, she could not see herself parting with her MAUSA Family and became a permanent leader in the taekwondo community! Our social butterfly is more commonly known as "Yuli," around the studio and town. Don't let her martial arts career fool you, she is one tough cookie, but she packs a lot of fun and silliness into her classes!
"There is no point in doing a workout that doesn't give you results. BUT more importantly, there is no point in doing a workout that doesn't involve good music, good company, and a few good laughs!"
