Our Instructors & Staff Members
Our Instructors have spent many years devoted to training in the art of Tang Soo
Do and other martial arts and have attained a certain level of expertise to qualify
them as teachers and also mentors.
Through extensive testing, certification and tournament level competition, our
staff has attained mastery in this martial art and now enjoy sharing their skill
and passing it on to their students. Here are a few of Cutting Edge Karate's
instructors and other staff members:
