I truly am blessed to have been able to learn under the 8th Dan Taekwondo Grand-Master Ted Kim as well as 6th Dan Master Randy Dittman for many years and most recently under 6th Dan Master John Gerardi and 6th Dan Master Patrick McCrimmon. I began my journey as a Martialist in 2013 at the age of 9 when my father believed I should get into the sport since he was a Kyokushin 3rd Dan himself and had practiced for many years. Since those early days, I have earned my 1st Poom, which was later converted to 1st Dan when I came of age, and my 2nd Dan. Both of my belts are certified under the Kukkiwon Headquarters in Seoul, Korea. I have devoted my life for the last few years to improving my skills and refining my techniques to a razor’s edge, my dedication to the Way is limitless and I try to make it a part of my life inside and outside the Dojang. I wrestled in Middle school and parts of High school to further my understanding of the Way. For a few months I stepped into the ring of the boxing world to see how strikers of another realm combat one another, I feel it was an invaluable experience and has helped me change my style to a more mixed style centered around Taekwondo.
