Celine Ducote

​

Celine began training at Core when she was 10 years old.  She achieved her junior black belt and moved on to the adult classes where she has achieved her 1st Dan black belt in Hapkido and brown belt in Krav Maga.  Celine also trains Muay Thai and is always eager to learn anything that will benefit her own self defense knowledge and adding to what she can pass on to our students.  Celine has a great ability to instruct younger students as well as adults.  Celine is also a high level competitor in multiple forms of archery.  We are thrilled to have Celine at Core until she attends college, which will be a sad day, but we are excited to see what she accomplishes in the future!
