Audrey Keeley was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She began training Taekwondo at the age of six. Her parents started her in martial arts to gain self-defense skills and build a higher level of confidence.

She remembers as a little dragon when Mr. Martin asked what she wanted to be when she was older, answering “I want to be an instructor!” Audrey’s instructors have always been her highest role models, and from them she has learned all the fundamental values that make her the person she is today. She aims to be that same example for her students every day both on and off the mat.

Through taekwondo training, Audrey has gained a level of confidence in herself that has been instrumental in her achieving many goals, within and outside of martial arts. She hopes to pass on that same self-confidence to all of her students, especially the younger girls that look up to her. Taekwondo has changed her as a person, and she truly doesn’t know who she would be without Venture. Audrey aims to make a positive impact on her students’ lives by providing the guidance that martial arts has brought her throughout her life.

Audrey is a 3rd Degree Black Belt and a Head Instructor at Venture Martial Arts in Central Park.
