| Kees Tae Kwon Do | Hi, my name is Trevor Warkentin and I'm the owner of Kees Tae Kwon Do. When I was in my late teens, I began my martial arts journey and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday own my own school and create an enjoyable environment for students to improve their fitness while building the confidence they can carry into their everyday lives.
