He started teaching at 14 and his favorite part of teaching is seeing all the students having fun, interacting with each other, and overall just growing as people.

In memory of Connor corcoran
Connor James Michael Corcoran 2005-2024
Our Fastkix family is devastated at the loss of Connor.
He joined Fastkix Taekwondo when he was 6 and has been a huge part of our Fastkix family since his first day. He earned his 3rd Degree Black Belt, was a longtime member of our Competition Team, and two years ago joined our staff as an instructor. Most recently, he was also the assistant Competition Team coach. He was a gifted athlete, supportive teammate, fierce competitor, incredible coach and beloved friend whose smile lit up the room. To see Connor in action was truly a gift to behold and all of our students adored him. His passion for martial arts made Fastkix the special place that it is and his presence will be irreplaceable. Tragically, Connor passed away on Tuesday, April 23rd, and we are all heartbroken. We promise to honor his legacy every day.
