Marcus Goldman
TaekwonDo Instructor
Marcus Goldman has been training under Master Giorgio since 1997 and became a 2nd Degree Black belt in June 2010. His most important “training” comes from being a dad to his 5 sons, all of whom strongly influence his outlook on life, every single day. Marcus received his undergraduate degree from Union College and his medical degree from the State University of New York/Health Science Center at Syracuse. He completed his residency and fellowship at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Goldman is an associate professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, and has had past academic and teaching appointments at Harvard Medical School and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Goldman is the author of numerous books, including “The Joy of Fatherhood” and “Kleptomania.” One of Marcus’ goals has been to convince more adults of the many emotional and physical rewards and benefits of Taekwondo. It’s never too late! He is happiest when he is with his family, at the studio.
