Master Gordon W. White began training in Taekwondo in 1983 and became a student of Blue Wave founder Grandmaster Twing in 1986.

“I was made to feel that I had tremendous potential and that by practicing Taekwondo and dedicating myself to it, I would be successful in anything I wanted to pursue. Teaching allows me to share that experience.”

Master White is a former U.S. National Team member and international medalist. He lived and trained extensively in Korea, and between 1993 and 1996, he was a lightweight team member for USA Taekwondo. He represented the U.S. National team at such events as the World Games, World Cup, and the Japan Open. Some of his career accomplishments include placing 3rd at both the World Cup and the Japan Open in 1996.

He opened Burlington Blue Wave in downtown Burlington in 2000 and has been teaching students of all children, teens, and adults of all abilities ever since.
