Grand Master Paul De Baca

5/30/1945 – 06/19/2020

Grand Master Paul De Baca was the founder and Head instructor of De Baca Taekwon-Do from its’ inception in 1995 until his passing on June 19, 2020. Grand Master De Baca was a consummate martial artist, a dedicated instructor, and a truly caring individual..

In the words of some who were blessed to train under him:

“Soft spoken, kind hearted. Warm and humble. Kind. Funny and fun-loving. Compassionate and yet one of the toughest people I have ever known”

“Grand Master Paul De Baca was one of my favorite people in this world. Such a kind and strong man. Great teacher, not just kicking and punching but life lessons for a number of uses.”

“he was such an amazing person, from his service in the military to him teaching others in martial arts, he has changed so many lives.

He was kind to everyone and not one part of him wasn’t good.”

RIP Sir.. As students of the De Baca TKD Family, we will continue to use the lessons you taught us…..

We will keep your legacy alive
