A taekwondo titan lurks in Coupeville.
Elementary school teacher by weekday, “sweep the leg” terror by weekend, Lindsey Helm got some props Monday when ATA Martial Arts revealed she was ranked in the top ten nationwide in her age group.
She was one of just two athletes from Washington state to earn the distinction.
Helm, who reps Whidbey Island Martial Arts, currently sits #9 in X-Treme weapons for second- and third-degree black belts in the 40-49 age group for women.
She’s joined in her pursuit of excellence by daughters Finley and Scotlyn, who have both been busy collecting medals of their own.
But there can only be one true mat master, and, in this house, her name is mom.
