The Instructors:

Sensei Tim Lay

• Florida instructor of the year for both 1998 & 1999
• Inducted into the Florida Karate Hall of Fame.

Sensei Jean-Louis Miranda and Sensei Tim Lay started their relationship as friends, then became best friends who turned into partners, and then finished as brothers-in-law. That is why we are a family-oriented martial arts school. Tae Kwon Do is what brought them together: Respect, Honesty, and Loyalty have been their success in this wonderful adventure, and they feel blessed to be able to share those values with their students.
