Ms. Jana Anderson

Assistant Instructor

Ms. Jana Anderson is a close family friend of the Bernal family (the school owners). She is best friends with Ella Bernal and lives, literally, behind the them! She began her martial arts career when Mr. Jesse Bernal needed “extra bodies” to secure a practice space in 2014.

Since that time, her diligence and sometimes whimsical approach to training has served her and our students well.

Ms. Jana earned her Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt) in Tang Soo Do, in March of 2018. She continues to learn and teach at Colorado Martial Arts Academy.

Master Turnquist is a proponent of practical Self-Defense and is a Certified Trainer in F.A.S.T. Defense, one of very few recognized systems for Adrenal Response training. In addition to being a Master in Taekwondo, Chris Turnquist also works as a Master level Educator at a local school district. To top it off, he’s also a Husband and Father, with 2 sons and a daughter!

Colorado Martial Arts Academy welcomed Chris in 2017 as one of our Head Instructors. We’re so happy to have him as part of our community!
