Mr Drew

Assistant Instructor - 2nd dan

Mr. Christopher Drew is an award winning ICTF II Dan black-belt and assistant instructor at LeBlanc Taekwon-Do. He earned his I Dan (2020) and II Dan (2022) from Mr. Devin Boudreau of Paragon Taekwon-Do, a former student under Master Rob LeBlanc. Mr. Drew began training under Master LeBlanc in 2016, until Master LeBlanc gifted a portion of his students to Mr. Boudreau in 2019 to form Paragon Taekwon-Do. Mr. Drew and family happily returned to LeBlanc Taekwon-Do in 2023 when Mr. Boudreau retired from instructing. When Mr. Drew joined LeBlanc Taekwon-Do with wife Meg, and children, Simeon, Ariella, and Asher, he never expected to advance far in rank. He assumed each successful test would be his last. Which was not a concern since his goal was only to get a little exercise while enjoying a family activity. To his surprise he kept advancing. When he earned his green belt, the bug truly caught and he set a goal to earn his I Dan prior to turning 40. Mr. Drew loves helping students achieve their next challenge, whether that is a new rank, increased fitness, or getting a move just a little better. Outside of Taekwon-Do Mr. Drew is a native son of Lower Sackville. He has completed a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology from MSVU,, a Master of Divinity from Acadia University and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education from Crandall University. His other title is Rev. Christopher Drew which he has held for more than 15 years.
