SGT Niklas Poland

Taekwondo Assistant Coach

Niklas followed in his siblings’ footsteps when he began taekwondo, and it quickly became a passion. He showed early promise, and medaled at a senior event (18-32) while he was still a junior competitor. By the time he enlisted in the Army, he had medaled twice at nationals and excelled at multiple international tournaments. His first tournament after basic training, he won an international bronze, and he has continued his upward trajectory in the sport since then.
