Meet the Business Owner

Thomas A.

Business Owner

Mr. Thomas E. Acker, began his journey in Isshinryu karate in the summer of 1995. Mr. Acker started training under Mr. Steven B. Moody, and was primarily interested in self-​defense, fighting and weapons. Now though Mr. Acker feels that being a martial artist is more than just self-​defense, fighting and weapons; Martial Arts is a way of life. The Martial Arts help you grow mentally, physically and spiritually. Mr. Acker believes without the structure and guidance of the martial arts he would not be where he is at today.

Mr. Acker currently a 4^th Degree Black Belt, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt, is a member of the Okinawan Isshinryu Karate Kobudo Association (www​.oikka​.com) and trains under Master Christopher Chase, Kaicho (9^th degree black belt) and head of the OIKKA.
