Our History
Sioux Legacy Martial Arts owner Russell Knoeppel has been training within the American Taekwondo Association (ATA) for over 20 years and has been teaching for eight. He has also been training in Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0 fighting system. At first, starting a business was barely an idea in the back of Russell's mind. But eventually, Grand Master Larry Hoover and Grand Master Bob Jager inspired him to open a school in Sioux Center, Iowa. Russell eagerly seized the opportunity to bring together a community and established Sioux Legacy Martial Arts in August 2023 which restored a martial arts community in Sioux Center and allowed Russell to grow his skills as an instructor. He is able to harness his past training experience to create another generation of martial artists. Cultivating relationships through kindness and improving individual lives is what drives Russell's passion daily.
