Master Kevin L Kresge: (Head Instructor)(6th Dan): Master Kresge has been teaching Martial Arts for more than twenty years and had logged thousands of hours in the DoJang. He also has many successful years of tournament competition in Kumite, Kata and Weapons Divisions.

Master Kresge has trained in and studied several different styles of martial arts and is proficient in American Tae Kwon Do(forms), Kumite (sparring), Traditional Weapons, Katas (forms), and their application, as well as Realistic Self Defense techniques.

His method of teaching allows his students to progress at their own individual rate with a focus on the dedication and discipline necessary to progress in rank.

Ever humble regarding his skills and accomplishments, Master Kresge is quick to remind his students that the term master in the martial arts has no demeaning connotation. Rather, it is a title much akin to the term Doctor or Professor in the professional world and should always be used in addressing Master Kresge or anyone of similar rank
