I took karate classes from Mr. Broadwater for three years, I made it to first degree black belt in the Christian Tae Kwon Do Academy, and it was all thanks to him! He is a great mentor/teacher.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I can teach you self-defense techniques only if you only want to learn to defend yourself in a real-life encounter with a bad guy, and I can also prepare you for competition if you want to do that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Fourth Degree Black Belt Master Instructor, and have used martial arts in real-life situations.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$25.00 per hour per person.
How did you get started teaching?
I took my first martial arts training in the U.S. Army. Then, I trained in Tae Kwon Do, trained in Tang Soo Do for a while, and went back to Tae Kwon Do. I became a First Degree Black Belt and an Instructor in May of 2010. I became a Second Degree Black Belt about a year later, a Third Degree Black Belt Master on September 15, 2015, and a Fourth Degree Black Belt on October 22, 2018.
What types of students have you worked with?
All ages from three and up, and all ethnicities, both male and female. The ones who take the training seriously and do their best are the ones who succeed.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
When I became a Black Belt State Champion in June of 2011.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I will do my part - teaching. You have to do your part - do what I say, the first time I tell you, and as fast as you can. Be enthusiastic. If you work hard and decide that you're going to enjoy the classes, then you should be very successful in learning what you need to learn. The students who consistently try their best always do great. If you decide to train with another Instructor, then I won't be offended. If you decide to train with me, then I'll be happy to teach you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about whether you really want to do this. Getting good at martial arts looks easy and fun on TV and in the movies, but it's a lot of hard work, and usually takes two years to earn your First Degree Black Belt with us. But it usually takes longer with anyone else. If you want it, then you have to work hard for it. I will do my part. If you do your part, then you'll get there. Also think of the spiritual aspect. That's very important. Christianity is the only true religion, so it would be harmful to your soul, your mind, and your emotions to train with someone who promotes Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Shintoism, atheism, secular humanism, agnosticism, or anything else that is in contradiction to the words, the ways, and the will of God.
