Master David Bowers (7th Dan) has been a student of the martial arts since 1973. I began with Judo and changed
to Tae Kwon Do in 1980. In 1987 I received my black belt and currently hold a 7th Dan. All of my ranks are under Master Paul Wood. I do not remember a
day when I was not a martial artist. I love it with all my spirit. Every day I remind myself that I am blessed. I have trained under and with the likes
of 8th Dan Master Walter Thompson, 8th Dan Master Paul Wood, Eric Lee, Joe Lewis, George Dillman, James Del Real, Jay T Will, Gary Gregg and Professor
Raymond Ancho. I have trained under Grandmasters such as Professor Sigmond Kufferath, Leo Fong, Sei Oyatu, Michael DePasquale Jr., Sifu Shi Yan Ming
