Greetings!
My name is Thomas Knight, and I am a certified Martial Arts instructor with over ten years of teaching experience. My first martial arts training started in 1969 in Miami. I currently train with a small group of high ranking black belts at Sacred Heart in St Joseph's, Florida. I love teaching all students, including children, teens and women, and my expertise is in traditional disciplined martial arts. I have trained in several styles (Tang Soo Do, Shim Myung Do, Shotokan, etc). My teaching certification is from Soo Bahk Do Tang Soo Do, and I received that certification in April, 2005. I hold an E-dan (2nd degree) Jo-Kyo-Nim, Kyo Sa Nim (Certified instructor).
Tang Soo Do, the style I teach, is a traditional Martial Arts form, fantastic for discipline, self esteem, physical fitness, learning respect for elders as well as others, honor, justice, family values, and everything we recognize in our country as good. Our style is 2000 years old, combining Korean Royal Temple Guard foot techniques and Northern Chinese long-arm Kung-Fu. It is a true art form, and is graceful as well as effective.
I have also trained with masters in Kung Fu, grappling and Jiu Jitsu, and taught many children's classes and women's self defense classes. I have huge numbers of students, and enjoy teaching. After training in Tang Soo Do-Soo Bahk Do for many years, our master passed away, and I trained in Shim Myung Do where I specialized in children's classes as well as women's self defense
